Units of kg/kg, m3/m3? Really? Is there a reason for not having units of '1'?

yes, this is significantly preferred by the user community
e.g.: kg/kg and mol/mol are interpreted quite differently from certain scientific perspectives. Although both have units of '1' from a mathematical perspective, the scientific interpretation is different and our user community is keen to preserve this information.

I've certainly seen a lot of opinion that prefers "kg/kg", so I'm OK with this.
I've yet to be convinced "the scientific interpretation is different" - rather that some people use the unit as an alternative/adjunct to the standard name. But that's a different battle... 😑

Interesting given the units of '1' listed in the cf standard name table. I won't lose any sleep over it, but don't expect such units to be preserved if performing calculations e.g.:
>>> iris.unit.Unit('kg/kg') * 'm'
Unit('meter')
