Use codes, not symbols.  Then you can use the UN/ECE international standardization of the SI brochure (described in attached), and in schema form at  http://www.unece.org/uncefact/codelist/standard/UNECE_MeasurementUnitCommonCode_6.xsd  ("Codes for Units of Measure used in International Trade").  You get rid of those 'pesky mu ( µ)  for micro' problems, which I'm sure is one of the reasons code lists were invented to begin with -- different languages, fonts, ... And you get a schema.  Translation to symbols happens further up the food chain.  -A  Toby Considine wrote, On 6/15/2011 3:41 PM:
There has been much back and forth on the final source for * exactly * the correct si prefixes, and multiple sources

Well, at last:

http://www.bipm.org/en/si/si_brochure/general.html

http://www.bipm.org/utils/common/pdf/si_brochure_8_en.pdf
http://www.bipm.org/en/si/si_brochure/

and, in particular, the prefixes….

http://www.bipm.org/en/si/si_brochure/chapter3/prefixes.html

Still no publicly accessibly codelist.

Of course, there is still that pesky mu ( µ)  for micro….
