For example you would say the object has width of {{unit|cm=20}} and people who prefer cm would see 20 cm in article text, but people who prefer inches would see 7.87 inch.
This is a great idea! As proposed it'd be very helpful, but maybe it'd be better if it showed the original text and a conversion on mouse-over (maybe with a small icon to indicate it, like external links).
This could be even based on geolocation for IP users
Oh, please, don't use IP geolocation for anything. It's terrible for people travelling, using proxies, living abroad, living in places where more than one languages are commonly spoken, learning new languages… If you want to get an initial default, use Accept-Language (like, inches for en-US and cm for anyone else :) and allow the user to modify it.
