We already show the power of 10 size as GiB ... how does the IDEMA spec
actually differ from that?  It's one thing to display the truth in a
more positive light (as in use power of 10 GiB etc.) it's quite another
to display incorrect sizes ... is the IDEMA spec just optimistic but not
unreasonable rounding, or is it actually inflating sizes wrongly?
