Two other  approaches are 

<model xmlns:example="http://www.example.com/sample_model.xml">
    <example:vicm name="A" value="23" />
</model>

and

<model xmlns:example="http://www.example.com/sample_model.xml">
    <variable name="A">
        <example:vicm value="23" />
    </variable>
</model>


Expand "vicm" to "valueInSquareCm" if you prefer the longer form, and
make up a dedicated element type for each units you have. 

If you only have a few units, this might provide the best typechecking
if you are using W3C XML Schemas (which falls apart as soon as you 
want attributes to convey type information.) Ugly, eh?
