IMO it should be possible to specify any of these things in meters too.
Because I'm a Dutch sailor and I use meters (heights and widths),
decimeters (depth) and nautical miles (distances). That's also the way
it's on my maps. I really have no idea how long an inch is (and the only
thing I know about feet is that my 6.5 meter boat is 22 feet). So I
really don't like it to specify units in feet and hope it will at least
be possible to use meters.

I can't tell if this is your words or something you've quoted, and I
can't find it under the links you've provided. But is anybody
suggesting that canals (worldwide) _must_ be measured in feet and
inches? The closest we had come to this in the earlier discussions was
that many felt that it should be _permissible_ to do so, and even then
it was looking like many of the options available were going to be
very messy.
