Zhengzhu's script for maintaining side-by-side traditional and
simplified chinese articles should work just as well for side-by-side
US and Queen's English articles. We should try that out...

It's not sloppy if the editor doesn't know how to do
the conversion.
Wouldn't it be cool to have some kind of macro system for pint,
liter/litre, kilogram/kilogramme, foot, and whatnot--something not unlike
the date conversion system we use, that enables me to see 8 October, 1988
where an American would see October 8, 1988.
