The sad news for your point of view, Paul, is that metrication in the
U.S. will not streamline things. We will still have a mish-mash of
federal agencies (FTC, FDA, USDA, et al.), over 50 local jurisdictions
(states, districts, territories, et al.), and non-regulation cases to
deal with. All that will change is that the units specified by each will
become metric units.

In Kevin Wilks' "Metrication In Australia," it is mentioned that the disparate
measurement laws in that country were streamlined considerably by the
metrication process. Thanks to Phil's and Jim's excellent discussions here, I
can see how.
