I don't think we should introduce it here. We could, of course, but that would make the selector more complex.- > - Is it possible to support localization for all (local) Wikidata URIs?

Just the labels for the baseline. "Symbols" support should be added later (P558 would need to be migrated to multilingual text). > - Where is the stuff required for unit conversion stored and how does the > widget know about it? In the baseline, the widget doesn't know about it. In fact, for now, there is no conversion. Later, we'd have an internal service for unit conversion, and an API module for accessing it. The widget could then tell the user whether the unit they entered is a well known base unit, a convertible unit, or somethign unknown (which means the value can not be indexed/normalized/compared/queried).
