I'm concerned about the syntax having required redundancy of class1 with
inches and class2 with mm. Do we want to make it illegal to have a metric
size with "na". If so, we don't need "in".
Also, how does one describe a custom size, such as "7-13in". The grammar
doesn't allow "custom_7-13in". Instead it must be "na-custom_7-13in",
"oe-custom_7-13in" or "asme-custom_7-13in". This doesn't seem right.
