📝 Original message:I have seen "1M" mean 1,000,000 bytes as well as 1,048,576bytes and
1,024,000 bytes. I believe the best policy is to use "megabyte" to mean
2^20 (1,048,576) bytes. Kb always means 1024 bytes, even when a lot people
round it, so I like the K spec best. I also see value in having human
readable data. The spec should nail down these details.
