About the patch to change tc command handling of bit rate definitions
from 1024 to 1000.  It appears that debate continues on this;
my suspicion it is a left over from that computer science (bits/bytes) view
of the world versus the telephony communications side.

I thought about this and rejected it because it would change
expected behaviour of people that already have scripts using the
tc command.  It would not be right to break the compatibility at this
late stage in a mature interface.

It would make sense to document the current behaviour better.
