Certainly, it doesn't match the historical use in my country either.

Sorry, I wasn't specific enough here; I meant if there is an official
converted grade.
In my area the guidebooks usually have two grades for each route;
Norwegian grades and French grades. In such cases, when there is an
"official conversion" (but doesn't really match the conversion tables on
e.g. the wiki-link above [1]), I think both can be added.
Then the data consumer can choose which one to use: If you want to use
the official French grade, do it. If you want to do the conversion
yourself, try converting from the Norwegian grade.
For a non-subjective conversion such as mph to km/h, conversion can be
up to the data consumer (the result will anyway be the same).
