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.
