I know it has been used for years, it's just I can't find anything official
that says it's even a proposed extension.  The best I could find was the KiB
stuff, which seems kind of odd (but at least you can fit it nicely in to an
English sentence: "Wow, I just pulled from Netscape at 200 kibs (KiB/s)!"
:-)

I'd agree on that one :-)
