15479	[PATCH] Include meters as a valid unit for distance	naoliv	team	"https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:distance says:

  If no unit is given explicitly, the value is assumed to be in kilometers. If another unit is given, it should be separated from the number by a space. Any decimal should be specified using a dot (.) as the decimal separator. Abbreviations for other units are described on the Units page.

And in [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features/Units#Explicit_specifications the Units page] we can see that the meter (`m`) is as valid as `km`, `mi` and `nmi` for distance.

One example is on footways and sport tracks where we can see signs marking the distance in meters (for example, `distance=50 m`, etc)
