You're welcome! Sorry I took so long to reply...

 Of course, since this report, the 2010 CODATA values came out, and while
 the ones I reported have been updated, there are still some discrepancies.

Indeed... The upstream changelog mentions 2010 CODATA values but some updates
have been left out.

 Is this a new bug, or an incomplete fix of the existing one?

If you don't mind filing a new bug, I'd appreciate it; it will make things
clearer for upstream.

Regards,

Stephen

Units DB2010 CODATA value

planckmass  2.17644e-8 kg   2.17651(13)
http://physics.nist.gov/cgi-bin/cuu/Value?plkm
K_J 483597.870 GHz/V483597.9 (exact)

R_K 25812.8074434 ohm   25812.807 (exact)

Rinfinity   10973731.568527 /m  10973731.568539(55)
http://physics.nist.gov/cgi-bin/cuu/Value?ryd

These values are the 1990 conventional values; thus the comment is currently
wrong, but will be correct when they are corrected.

The comment on Rinfinity (saying that it is known much less well than R_H)
seems incorrect, too.
