Does he keep track of his experiment somewhere on the net? I would like to have a look at it.
By the way, this effort is certainly good, but one of the biggest merit of SAGE was (in my modest opinion) the idea to not reinvent the wheel as long as it's possible. (I hope SAGE is not changing its path, in reimplementing basics in its own way...) So, in this case I can see that the "unit of measurements" package shouldn't be too much of effort to build one from scratch, so trying to adapt an existing one to work with SAGE couldn't be the best choice in this case, nonetheless I am wondering if the other opportunities out there (there are at least three, as you can see in the trac ticket) have been previously explored to take some advantage! There are non-trivial issues like compound units management that may have already been successfully faced.
