I don't know what's "generally accepted" but personally I find
a 1% accuracy to be perfectly sufficient, and I think if someone needs
more than 0.1% accuracy there's a good chance they'd be just as happy with
"full" accuracy.

My "ideal" balance between screen real-estate and accuracy is
3 characters, i.e. " 23", "178", "980", " 1.2", followed by the
µ/m/k/M/G/... scaling factor and units.

Maybe I'm on the "low-accuracy" range of people, so I can see good
reasons to prefer 4 characters instead, but 6 as above seems hard
to justify.
