	BIPM - quantity symbols and unit symbols
		Just as the quantity symbol should not imply any particular choice of unit, the unit symbol should not be used to provide specific information about the quantity, and should never be the sole source of information on the quantity.
		Units are never qualified by further information about the nature of the quantity; any extra information on the nature of the quantity should be attached to the quantity symbol and not to the unit symbol.
		Even when the value of a quantity is used as an adjective, a space is left between the numerical value and the unit symbol.

		Once the source hazardous waste quantity value has been evaluated for each source or area of observed contamination (including as applicable, the unallocated source), the hazardous waste quantity value is calculated as the rounded sum of the source (or area of observed contamination) values and assigned a factor value using Table 2-6.
		If neither the quantity of 1,2-DCE nor the quantity of wastewater were adequately determined, then Tier C or Tier D would be evaluated based on the information available on the dimensions of the lagoon.

	Semantic Aspects of Quantity
		The process of assigning size to an adjectival quantity described by a count noun is an act we normally call counting, while the process of assigning size to some attribute of an entity described by a mass noun is the process we normally call measurement.
		Not apparent from the structure of continuous adjectival quantity, but nonetheless central to the measurement act is the need for a judgment to be made about the adequacy of the precision for the context at hand.
		In this case, when the referents of the two quantities are disjoint and there exists a superordinate class to which both referents belong, we can extend the operation of addition with nominal number to adjectival quantity in a straightforward fashion.
