Bob,

> Is there comparable documentation for UDUNITS-1?

The UDUNITS-2 parser should accept all UDUNITS-1-compatible strings, so you 
could use the UDUNITS-2 documentation if you ignored support for UTF-8 (e.g., 
exponents, ohm and micro symbols) and for logarithmic units.

Otherwise, the UDUNITS-1 documentation (such as it is) is at 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/udunits/udunits-1/index.html>.  You could 
look over the UDUNITS-1 database of units to get an idea of the allowed syntax.
