    John, I've always seen and used "nm". In the context of nautical navigation,
    there's nothing else that will be confused with this. Those who use "M" in a
    consistent universe where all nav will be done in nautical miles as opposed
    to statute are probably OK--as long as they are the only ones who will be
    reading their marks. In a less professional environment, "nm" is still less
    likely to be confused for anything else.
