Interesting questions - would it break scripts, or fix them? How many 
people did actually check wether k stands for 1024 or 1000 when writing 
their scripts?

If 1024 is not used in real networks (I don't know) then you should just 
ditch it completely, IMO. Offering two possibilities is fine, but could 
also easily lead to even more confusion.
