What would you like to see added to the NWBInspector?

In the schema, subject weight is a string. In general, we want to encourage SI units for all fields, with exceptions. For weight, this is kg. In PyNWB, we allow float/string to be entered, and if a float is entered, " kg" is appended to the end.

If a unit is not part of the weight string, it is ambiguous what unit the weight is in. Therefore, I suggest that the subject weight string be checked to have the form "[numeric] [string]". I would argue this is a critical error.

This may be addressed in the schema, but for now, I think it would be good to address this in the inspector.
