I guess my objection that I think the whole idea is stupid doesn't count for much? I'll do it if Wolfgang insists, but I honestly believe that there was no confusion and that the introduction of KiB and its ilk just makes things worse, not better. No one is going to compare memory sizes in kilobytes with distances in kilometers and get confused.
