Somehow, I don't think that section of the HIG was written for developer tools that need to examine network traffic. In fact, the section you linked is specifically about Finder, which is consumer facing.

This change makes Web Inspector report values different from many other developer tools which report bits in sizes based on powers of two. I don't think it's an improvement to what already exists.
