I don't think so, since second is the basic SI unit of time, while
centiminutes as 0.6s look a bit awkward... let's say, for a few seconds,
OK? :^)

Well, the micro-fortnight is a well documented unit of time, see jargon file.
But at this opportunity, I'd like to mention the nanocentury.
Ahem.
For something completely different...
What can I do to further the de-DE-trad, de-DE-1996 and the other
proposals?
Are there open questions, formal issues, procedures?
I don't want to distract from the centiminutes and the metric vs. other
systems, but I am still interested in the issue of tagging the lately
deformed, err, reformed german orthography and its traditional
counterpart.
