OK, here are my changes to ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/units/units-1.88a.tar.gz to add the Taiwanese units. The Japanese people I Cc'd might consider doing the same.
Note I only added units that seem to me to be still in use. I was going to add Hanyu Pinyin romanizations too, but decided against it, as it will only increase future collisions as other countries units are added later. Likewise I change 分 to 分地 as there are too many kinds of 分 in this world. Dear units(1) author: Consider removing trailing whitespace from all files. Date in units.man should be updated.
