Ah, let's keep machine-readable info in machine-readable fields (like<br>
unit) and let's have human-readable info in human-readable fields<br>
(which would be description in this case). I submit<br>
<br>
unit: <empty><br>
description: Angular momentum relative to the sun<br>
<br>
even for humans is preferable to<br>
<br>
unit: Sun<br>
description: Angular momentum<br>
