Sounds good to me.  As one of my UK colleagues once said, "We're going 
metric ... inch by inch.  How about you?"  The tour bus driver in 
Victoria BC remarked that "We Canadians sell gasoline by the teaspoon, 
that's why the price looks so low."  Did the Romans have a decimal point?

Interesting thread.  Useless ... but interesting.
