The category is called *"Metric."*

When conveying fractional values, such that 1.2345E-08 (which is
0.000,000,012,345), it would do so in a metric-relative way using the
standard milli (10^-3), micro (10^-6), nano (10^-9), pico (10^-12), and
so
on...

In the example, the *Metric* display would cause the value to show up
as "*12,345
pu*" (pico-units) if the thousands separator was used.

Could you give some examples what you think how the format code actually
should look like?

Eike, I never heard back from you after my reply.

The format would be "Metric" with "Metric:seconds" given for a specific
override for the units name.  And there are a few other options that I
would like to append including a bias that the data may already be in, such
as kilo-units ("Metric[:seconds][:bias=kilo]") and an override base to use,
such as always displaying in milli-units
("Metric[:seconds][:bias=kilo][affix:milli]").


Please forgive my dyslexia.  It should be:
Metric[:seconds][:bias=kilo][:affix=milli]

Each of the [] portions are optional, and would actually appear in a form
like this:

Metric:seconds:bias=kilo:affix=milli

I don't see how that would fit into the existing number format code
syntax. It looks like something completely different.
