Markus and all, hello.

(yes, I still seem to be subscribed to the list!)

I'm still able to log in to the wiki, still, but not able to edit this 
page.

Two more minor things:

1. Arnold mentioned that the VOUnits document says that 'yr' is the 
FITS-preferred unit for year, but that it should instead be 'a'.

2. It might be worth a refresh of this document in any case, since some 
of the URIs are wrong (it refers to Unity at bitbucket, and references 
to 'volute' at Google Code).  If there were a move to adjust these, I'd 
want to find someplace to share the Unity source code repository.  I'd 
quite like to see Unity used more -- that was a bit of a labour of love, 
of the sunk-without-trace variety!

Best wishes,

Norman
