In issue 5930 alastair_paton gave a clear argument why this issue is rather a
dependant than a duplicate for 5930.

Back in 2004 two separate requirements were blurred together within this issue
and I believe that
blurring has hindered engineering notation in gaining appropriate implementation
priority.
The two [blurred] issues are:
A. Engineering Notation, and
B. SI Prefixes.
A. ENGINEERING NOTATION
The requirement for engineering notation was well articulated on 17 Jun 02 by
the initiating post for
this this issue [5930, Engineering Notation].
The only thing I would add is Engineering notation is a version of scientific
notation [Ref: Wikipedia
article on Engineering Notation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_notation ] as this may help in
the implementation of engineering notation.
B. SI PREFIXES
On 14 Jan 04 [24373, Engineering and SI/MKSA notation support for Calc] was
raised, and 9 hours
later it was deemed to be a duplicate of [5930, Engineering Notation].
I disagree with this assessment as they are are not the same issue, nor a double
of the same issue.
[24373, Engineering and SI/MKSA notation support for Calc] does describe a
requirement, and that is
for SI Prefix, viz, An SI prefix is a name or associated symbol that precedes a
basic unit of measure
[Ref: Wikipedia article on SI Prefix http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Si_prefix ].
