Re: Using standardized SI prefixes

Perhaps transforming it into a localization problem would do the trick. 
This way, users would be able to set their preference on byte-count in 
the same place as their preference on currency, decimal, and am/pm vs 
24h. Applications could make use of the localization settings to 
calculate the amount of bytes, which would hopefully eventually 
centralize and generalize what counting-method the user sees.
