I don't think the /unit and /lunit command like a quantity that starts with a zero.. Any one else?
First two work fine, last one causes all kinds of grief, in lists, lines etc. The leading zero and decimal point are zapped.
\unit{1.0 meter inverse second}
\lunit{1.0 meter inverse second}
\unit{0.1 meter inverse second}
\lunit{0.1 meter inverse second}
\lunit{0 meter inverse second}
And pretty, please, can we spell metre correctly soon ( sorry, people over the pond…)
… Or at least have the option to...

You should first provide a *working* minimal example!
\starttext
\lunit{1.0 meter inverse second}
\stoptext
! Undefined control sequence.
l.2 \lunit
{1.0 meter inverse second}

This is easy, Hans has to add only an entry for “metre” in phys-dim.lua.

I did have a play with the units primitives (at lua level),which fixed it for me, and made some suggestions to Hans.. Along with many other people also making suggestions, I'm sure. I had quite a few suggestions to improve the units module for everyone who speaks SI.
On the other front I now have a saved search to swap metre to meter, but it does no make me happy!
However the leading zero is a new(to me) issue… I'm a bit surprised that no-one else found it.
