We seem to have a choice between: 1) Making renderers which need to understand the units they want to render on the map, and are capable of converting values in a single standard unit into that rendered unit and rounding appropriately: 48.28 -> 29.999mph -> "30mph" 2) Making renderers which need to understand all possible units anyone might use, and how to convert them into the units they want to render on the map (which may or may not be the units encoded). 50kph -> 31.07mph -> "30mph" 45mph -> 45mph -> "45mph" 73000furlongsperfortnight -> 27.16kph -> "28kph" I opt for 1). I think it's reasonable to ask renderers to know about units they want to render. I don't think it's reasonable to ask them all to know about all possible units anyone might want to stick in the database.
