It is used anyway.

What is difficult to parse? number,space,unit is parseable with a very simple 
regular expression. Even if you account for the fact that some people will 
forget the space.

When searching for a parking space, it is even simpler. The software you use 
for that, doesn't have to understand the tag. It just has to display it.
