Hi Daniel,

the reason it is a String is because we have always treated UCUM units as parseable strings. E.g.

kg.m^-2

and

kg/m^2

are parseable according to UCUM's grammar <http://unitsofmeasure.org/ucum.html#section-Syntax-Rules> into an expression that has a single meaning, and can also be equated to e.g. 'kPa' (which is itself parseable and so on).

So, right now the DV_QUANTITY.units is a String, perhaps it should be DV_CODED_TEXT?
