      1. Present the tabulation of unit symbols in monospace style so we understand that these parameters deliver text values.

      2. Specify whether the unit symbols are case-sensitive or not.

      3. Be clear that the prefixes apply to the unit symbols and nothing else. That is, if

      CONVERT(N, "ly", "m") is supported, then

      CONVERT(N, "nly", "km") shall be supported, in accordance with the rules encapsulated in the table.

      Formatted unit symbols with monospaced "code" style.
      Replaced typographic quotes with ASCII quotes where applicable.

      The ways that unit prefixes are applied to the unit symbols is not specific enough and subject to misinterpretation.

      Also, the case sensitivity of unit symbols, if any, is not specified.

      Finally, the unit symbols in the table should be expressed in a monospace style that clearly differentiates between capital "I" and lower-case "l", etc.
