| 17:24 | <Michael Ficarra> | someone asked me about adding watt/joule/watt-hour units to https://tc39.es/ecma402/#sec-issanctionedsingleunitidentifier |
| 17:24 | <Michael Ficarra> | it should be easy to do via needs-consensus PR since CLDR already has them, right? |
| 17:25 | <Michael Ficarra> | if so, I'll ask them to write up a couple paragraphs of justification and open a PR |
| 17:29 | <sffc> | Please have them write it up as an issue or up vote one of these issues: https://github.com/tc39/ecma402/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22new%20unit%22 |
| 17:31 | <sffc> | We can't and all the units we've ever been asked for because of engine payload size |
| 17:33 | <sffc> | But when there's a strong signal of a unit being broadly applicable to many users of the Web platform, at least as useful as other units we already have, then we should add it |
| 17:33 | <sffc> | I personally think energy units are getting more important with electric vehicles so there's probably a good case to be made |
| 17:34 | <Michael Ficarra> | 👍️ me too |
| 17:34 | <Michael Ficarra> | I'll let them know about the existing issues, thanks @sffc |
