Exactly, \unit{kbit} should output kbit, instead of kB.

I don't know, if kb is a valid shortcut for kilo bit. kB
outputs kB (kilo byte). I would vote for that kb outputs
kbit (kilo bit). But that \unit{kbit} yields kB is
definitely wrong.

I don't know if it's wrong. It's very non-intuitive, but I
think Hans had a reason not to include the \cdot 10.
