One little correction in the text below.
The following rules should be used:
* "unit" is optional
* if "unit" is present, then "value" is optional, and if "value" not
present, then it is assumed to be 1.

Scott,
My feeling is that if we must start with the simplest form of useful
data and pave the cow paths, then "price" in hListing is good enough for
me, and there is no need to pave that "currency" path for now, or even
discuss it, at least not on this discussion list:

Scott,
Please ignore my last post on the subject. As Andy M. pointed to me in
another thread, I took an extreme interpretation of the process. Mea
culpa. And sorry in advance for this long post.
On the subject of what is useful to do now with currency, I agree with
you that limiting the prop

I think "$" is a unit of measuring currency, and "barrel" is a unit

Sure we can conceptualize it like that, but
Here are some additional examples from the Web of currency mixed with
measures, some of which differ from the "$__ per barrel" pattern and a
suggested new conceptualization that seems to work with them.

Let me know what you think. I'll put this on the wiki later.
The presence of UNECE codes for various units is encouraging. This
proposal is shaping up nicely. Could you think of other "client" uses
for just the measurement format? Alread

I think this is a good example of the benefits of modularization. I
think all of these various measurements would be more useful if they
were more widely published, and I think the best way to get them
widely published is to keep them as separate microformats addressing

There are still 2 separate sections for measure and currency, and I
intend to keep it this way. But it was useful to look at both right
