Hi David,
How about abandoning this non-inclusive "European" tag that you see as
complementary to "American?"
Replace it with "Metric" or "ISO" as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_216
This "American" business places you in limited and questionable
company :-

Let's make ISO the default, and have a "NOAH" or "CUBITS" keyword for
the
3 countries on the planet that cling to Imperial units... ;-)
Regards,
Andrew
