Field notes
The reference is divided into four parts, moving from dozenal notation through unit definitions and everyday applications to background material. Its examples include clocks, money, paper and shoe sizes, while the conversion widget accepts either input value and rounds to three places. The page labels itself version 0.2 and lists open items, so the proposal appears to be an ongoing work rather than a finished standard.
