Hold on a minute. We cannot sit over in our little corner and pretend 
that the rest of the world does not exist. That's how we got into 
trouble with the KIO3. 

dBV is a voltage measure with a reference of 1V RMS. It's an 
international standard. If a K3 function does something else, it needs 
to be called something else.
