CellML 1.2 will have a "units" element which may contain a collection
of "unit" elements (there is no proposal to change this under
https://tracker.physiomeproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55). Application
developers are free to present data from a CellML model in whatever
manner is considered most appropriate for their users. As mentioned
many times, it seems sensible to me that objects in the libCellML API
which have a 1:1 correspondence to info-items in the specifications
use the same name.

The primary goal with libCellML in regard to the finalising of the
CellML 1.2 specifications is to ensure the objects and rules interact
in the manner that is expected based on conceptual discussions. Not to
worry about changing the names of elements.


Cheers,
Andre.
