However, it's always a good idea to look around and so how other people tackle issues. I’m not so keen on the ConTeXt method here either (after all, I do write siunitx!).

Seems like a mixture of physical and logical markup. It is one thing to specify what the units are and another how they should look like. We should strive to separate those two as much as possible. This makes it easier to add new funtionality like, say, a units converter from one base to another.
