I do not know the history behind units in EML or how, or if, the unit registry is maintained. Margaret offered a comment on one of the issues concerning units [<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/NCEAS/eml/issues/286">here</a>] that is insightful, and I believe that the EDI has it on their docket to consider revisions to the unit registry.

One of the issues that I have been following closely is <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/NCEAS/eml/issues/275">this</a> one related to the implementation of TextType in EML as I have found the DocBook implementation/limitations in EML extremely frustrating. At the risk of butchering the technical details, I am super, super, super (yes, three supers!) excited about a change that Matt and others have proposed for EML 2.2 that would allow for the integration of markdown (sorry, Margaret) with TextType. Matt would love feedback from the community on this proposed change, so, if you are interested in this issue, please express your thoughts in the afore linked GitHub issue.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Related, please see <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://waffle.io/NCEAS/eml">here</a> for a list of the many tickets that Matt and others are working on related to EML 2.2.<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none">Thanks for your consideration,<br clear="none">Stevan<span class="yiv7236710225HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br clear="none"><br clear="all"><br clear="none">-- <br clear="none"></font></span><div class="yiv7236710225m_-1841722651737277790ydp90afeb2dyiv0593981434gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:9pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);"><b>Stevan Earl</b></span><br clear="none">Information Manager, Central Arizona<span>–</span>Phoenix LTER
