apr_strfsize SI prefix for kilo

Hello,

I know it is a minor thing but shouldn't the character
used to represent kilo in apr_strfsize be lowercase?
http://www.efunda.com/units/si_prefixes.cfm?search_string=kilo
I think K is the unit symbol for kelvin.

I only noticed because I use the SSI fsize directive
and wanted it consistent with the rest of my site.

An easy way to see this is a directory index generated
by apache.

BTW Apache 1.3 had it this way.


Thanks,
-Carl Edwards

"Based on the new definitions, the SI prefixes, k, M, and G, are back to their original meaning of 1,000, 1,000,000, and 1,000,000,000, respectively. The commonly known binary prefixes are written as Ki, Mi, and Gi and pronounced as kibi, mebi, and gibi, respectively."

I believe that is 2^10, so no.
