Hi Marton,

a value without unit (when it'd actually have one) is not of much
value. That's how I see it, and I'd rather add the unit to chapter
times as well.
The problem is that when you ask about installing signs pointing 
the way to the toilet, anyone who knows the way will say that 
there's no need for it and that everybody else will figure it out
sooner or later (or too late 😉).


On the other side, I don't want to make it a big thing. I'll 
wait until Monday and if nobody chimes in, I'll remove it.

Thank you
