Perhaps the reason for the confusion might be that the article on HyTime
which I saw (and which I've completely failed to find again) used "NIST
inch" to distinguish it from the traditional US inch.  This would have been
very obscure to non-US readers, but that is not unusual.  It would fit with
NIST having standardised on the SI-derived inch, and with HyTime not having
any unit representing 1/39.37 m.  Just a guess.
