I'm trying hard to remember why I added that "per category".

Even trying to construct a hypothetical case, I can't find any reason.
The only thing that would matter would be equal named units with different meanings, like minutes are time and astronomical angle. But that's way of all use cases I could expect.


I think it was just a mere minimal requirement and can be superseeded by a stronger constraint like "for all".

Title:
  Name of unit of measurements should be unique per category

Status in OpenERP Modules (addons):
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  You can add two Unit of Measurements named "kg" (with the same, or
  even more severe: with different ratios), in the same category.

  To avoid confusion and inconsistent data, the name of the unit should
  be unique (per category).

  This is, among other usages, quite neccessary for external unit
  conversion e.g. programs contacting OpenERP via xmlrpc.
