Hi,
while I get your point, I would like to state that we are talking here about a normative context (ISO) where such assumptions, even the more common sense-driven, are not welcome, to say the least.
It is the aim of a standard to be as precise and ambiguity-free as possible and certainly mentioning units is no big effort nor big cost.
You mention professionals at the end of your comment. Such properly-assuming individuals actually also care to have good standards.
