NIST has a page of guidelines for formatting units in documents - <br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/checklist.html">https://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/checklist.html</a><br>
<br>
I am conforming unit presentation within the various documents I'm
editing to use the guidelines, mostly #15:<br>
<tt><br>
</tt>
<blockquote><tt>There is a space between the numerical value and
unit symbol, even when the value is used in an adjectival sense,
except in the case of superscript units for plane angle.</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>proper: a 25 kg sphere</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> an angle of 2° 3' 4"</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> If the spelled-out name of a unit is used,
the normal rules of English apply: "a roll of 35-millimeter
film."</tt><tt><br>
<br>
</tt><tt>improper: a 25-kg sphere</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> an angle of 2 ° 3 ' 4 "</tt><tt><br>
</tt></blockquote>
So for example, where there are instances of 50ppm, 8-ms, I'm
updating them to 50 ppm, 8 ms.<br>
<br>
Uniformity of presentation seems like a desireable goal - are there
any objections to following these particular guidelines?<br>
<br>
There's a handful of other conventions codified that may turn up
needing conformance, which I'll also conform where I find them -
where reasonable.<br>
