And what about unit:NanoMOL-PER-MicroMOL-DAY
- would that be A0E0L0I0M0H0T-1D1
or A0E0L0I0M0H0T-1D0
?
We handle the simple case of ratios as described here in our wiki. More general cases, such as equations where various units partially cancel out, will need to wait until we support a more general expression capability.
What about unit:PER-SR
- would that be A0E0L0I0M0H0T0D-1
?
(I'm trying to fill in the Dimension Vectors for that large set of units needed by NVS P06. Good progress, and a good way to do another check through. But uncovering some places where I'm a bit unsure ...)

And what about all the 'number per XXX' units - e.g. NUM-PER-L ?
A0E0L-3I0M0H0T0D1
or just A0E0L-3I0M0H0T0D0
?

I would say this one would be A0E0L0I0M0H0T0D1. In fact, I think any vector having D-1 is an error. I see that there are 4 such instances, but nothing points to them.
I will give this some time for responses, but then I plan to delete the 4 D-1 vectors. Also, I'd like some feedback on some creative use of "D1" vectors that I defined back at the beginning of COVID-19, specifically http://qudt.org/vocab/quantitykind/MorbidityRate, and http://qudt.org/vocab/quantitykind/MortalityRate
I'm not entirely convinced, myself, that this is a good way to use the numerator and denominator vectors. It might just be better to just have the regular dimension vector and not have the numerator and denominator ones...
And what about all the 'number per XXX' units - e.g. NUM-PER-L ?
A0E0L-3I0M0H0T0D1
or justA0E0L-3I0M0H0T0D0
?
I believe it should be the second one, L-3 and D0 in your example.
OK - so to confirm:
I'll fix up #268 to conform
Basically, yes. ...plus the possible "creative use" I mentioned above. But again, I'm not sure that was a good idea.
I'm unable to find clear explanation of usage for the Dimensionless exponent. Should it be set to 1 if the other exponents in a dimension vector cancel out - e.g. MilliMOL-PER-MOL ? i.e. the dimension vector can never be
A0E0L0I0M0H0T0D0
