[om] Units example usage ?

[Bill Naylor]

First, I would like to say that I am very glad that this question has been
brought up again. I think that it was left in a very unresolved state.
However that being said, I would like to point people at (for example) the
FMP at:

though the use of times here was I think a bit shot down in
flames by Andreas earlier! I am glad that the MathML group are doing
something on this and look forward to reading their resolution
