I am in favor, and would also like clarification of what goes in the subunits
place: a furlong, a number of furlongs, or something else.
I think it would depends on which measurement unit being used. For instance, if {minli} is being used to refer to miles, then I would expect the subunit to be yards, or less likely but also possible, feet.
Also "mitre" is the only measurement gismu which has a direction in x3 and the
only measurement gismu other than "minli" which has the standard somewhere
other than x3.
Is there a cmavo for direction and/or dimension? If there is, I'd suggest removing that place from {mitre} completely.
