I know youall in the usa need the chart in pounds and ounces.  However, we 
are at the next stage -- on the UK-WHO chart we made a strong recommendation 
for treating 10% weight loss as a real trigger to action.  I have seen 
people who are resonsible for routine weight monitoring struggle with 
calculating 10% in the first two weeks (recall, we have no centiles on our 
chart in the first fortnight) -- in kg and g -- I do not know how people 
would cope with the arithmetic involved in this calculation in imperial 
measures!!!  (Sorry, the British refer to pounds and ounces as imperial 
measures -- seems like the usa forgot about 1776 and all that when they 
decided to remain wedded to these measurements). 

Parents is easy -- put a conversion chart in their record.
