Thanks from me too. Yes, I think we are pretty close with this. A few problems (and possible enhancements) are detailed in the attached (source and pdf). (Hans: this supersedes the one I sent you privately).

- concerning unicode celsuis and fahrenheit symbols: lm has only one of
them hence the inconsistent rendering. I now check for both being
present and fallback in case one of them is missing.
- dB (A) : I've added that feature () sounds ok to me.
- Are succesive per's always to be collapsed? 10 a/b/c or 10 a/bc?
- I'll see what I can do with multiple units.

I thought it might be a font thing

Great!

Well, I was thinking about that last night. Technically, yes: one is only supposed
to have one per or / in a unit, and any subsequent ones have no effect.
But actually I now think that if an author wants that, there may be reasons, so
let's leave it as it is. Then you can actually write
\starttext
It is correct that
\unit{1 metre per second per second} is
\unit{1 metre per second second} and is also
\unit{1 metre per square second}.
\stoptext

Thanks. Not an urgent one for me.
I'm thinking about the numeric formatting capability now ... I will write something
and send to the list for comment.
