--- Comment #7 from xaxa...@gmail.com ---
SI should be an option as metric is easiest for people. IMHO this should be the
default but MHO isn't particularly important.
IEC should be an option (there are times when it's useful, e.g. counting disk
"pages"). For that matter, hexidecimal is useful with IEC.

However - from a quote on Wikipedia
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix):

The International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM), which maintains the
International System of Units (SI), expressly prohibits the use of SI prefixes
to denote binary multiples, and recommends the use of the IEC prefixes as an
alternative since units of information are not included in SI.

So using JEDEC would be against their wishes, and they're the authority on
these matters.


Also, can you please make a special one for me with capital Kilo :)
