Thanks for that explanation. It helps a lot.

I hope that all those authorities manage to all agree on allow
metric-only. Otherwise the UPLR is not very 'uniform'.

If I were a US importer/manufacturer of a a variety of goods with a lot
on my mind, I would want the same packaging across products and across
jurisdictions in my US markets. The 7 states with 'not planned' status
is worrying.

I would hope that this all happens soon. The pro-metric case will be
served by quiet introduction of instances of metric only in retail well
before 2009.
