Not sure if I'm ready to embrace "ppmv" -- for the reasons already mentioned.

Shame on NASA!
Are the files in netCDF format? If so, then the units can be translated using
ncML.

I feel like a parent responding to their child's imprecation to be allowed to
do something because "All my friends do!" by saying "And if all your friends
ran off a cliff, would you too?".

I've already added "ppm", "ppb", "ppt", and "ppq" as symbols. I'll wait for
your feedback before releasing a new version, however.
