a) this is taken as 46 °C<br>
b) taken as 46 °C, except in regions where Fahrenheit is use then

c) an error and rejected.<br>

--------------------------<br>
You can comment on the degree symbol and the use of a space .. I'm
coming to the conclusion that both are optional. But the main
subject is the default unit.. a) °C, b) selected by region as
°Cor °F, c) an error. <br>

<div>I think if no unit is specified then it should
be taken to mean Celsius worldwide. To define the
unit explicitly use n[.n][C|F]. We should also
state that the degree symbol is not required (and
maybe that it should never be present).<br>

At least, that's my opinion.<br>

<div>Explicit units are better than
implicit.<br>

<br>
<div>But there still needs to a be a better
