This is a good point. On the other hand, when we display
coupled ocean - atmosphere simulations in Vis5D, we usually
have to give wind vectors and current vectors different names,
since the scales are so different (10's of m/s vs cm/s). So
we might want a design that at least allows the flexibility
for discipline-specific notions of speed, etc, and also allows
all speeds to be lumped together.
