That's mapping for the rendering's back-end SQL database. If I'm staring at a sign that says "14,505 feet", that's certainly how I want to tag it. The rendering can catch up. Parsers are easy, ubiquitous and cheap. To the extent the wiki describes actual tagging practice, rather than hopes, this is already a non issue. People do tag feet, meters, psi and a variety of other reasonable human oriented units. Any rendering not parsing that data is missing valid data.
