Pedantic: Mega != 2^20

I noticed a while ago that Azurius reports data sizes/speeds in Mebibytes (MiB) instead of Megabytes (MB). What other clients use the new terminology, or at least use the words "mega" and "kilo" [correctly] according to the metric system? I was reminded of this because I was trying to make some size-filters in gtk-gnutella, and had a difficult time because of the program's casual use of the abbreviation MB to mean 2^20. Anybody else have an opinion about this admitedly pedantic issue?
