VOunits draft

[Tom McGlynn]

The document doesn't seem to address how magnitudes are to be handled. 
Are they unitless?  Do we have a 'mag' unit a la the FITS standard? 
What about magnitudes per square arcsecond? If they are unitless how do 
we find out that the column is a magnitude?  UCD? UType?  Do we allow SI 
prefixes?

I don't have a strong feeling here, except that I believe this needs to 
be discussed explicitly.
