Question on customUnit

[David Blankman]

Hi all,

Here is a portion of an eml document. Is the additionalMetadata section 
for the customUnit correctly defined?

<attribute>
                    <attributeName>B1Q3</attributeName>
                    <attributeDefinition>
oven dried weight of sample collected in a quadrat
                    </attributeDefinition>
                    <measurementScale>
                        <ratio>
                            <unit>
                                *<customUnit>g/0.04m2</customUnit>*
                            </unit>
                            <precision>0.001</precision>
                            <numericDomain>
                                <numberType>real</numberType>
                            </numericDomain>
                        </ratio>
                    </measurementScale>
                </attribute>
