After some digging, I found that the EML being produced by the KUBI MN is not synchronizing because of a validation problem with the stmml:unit elements being declared i the section of the EML. This likely wasn't easily noticed because the "EML Validation Service":http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/emlparser/ doesn't parse the content in the section other than to assure XML validity, but not schema validity.

That said, the fix looks easy: stmml:unit can't have character content as a direct child since it's definition specifies element content only as children (annotations removed):

xsd:complexType



/xsd:choice




/xsd:attribute

/xsd:attribute

/xsd:attribute

/xsd:attribute
/xsd:complexType
/xsd:element

So, the textual description of each custom unit needs to be wrapped in a tag, e.g:

eml:eml
...




Standard Deviation multiplied by 100
/stmml:unit



/eml:eml

I'd also suggest that the unit id attribute be a camel case id, which would be more consistent with ids found in the "EML unit dictionary":https://code.ecoinformatics.org/code/eml/tags/RELEASE_EML_2_1_1/eml-unitDictionary.xml. Something like:

This isn't a necessity, but may help in adopting these units into the next version of the unit dictionary.
