Until very recently I had never seen pressure in kPa.  For atmospheric
pressure, the standard unit seems to be hPa.  I realize that's a
less-normal SI prefix, but it happens to match mbar.  But, I am seeing
kPa more tha last 6 months.

So, I wonder why you are choosing kPa vs hPa, and if that choice ends 
up being a framework choice for everything.  And how the rest of the
world deals with this issue.
