Not directly, but the paper (v1.1) itself is using MiB as well which
could be seen as a recommendation.
SI and NIST to my knowledge explicitly state to not use SI prefixes for
anything but powers of 10. Also as far as I'm aware any relevant
standard body adopted / endorsed these.

Needs getting used to indeed. I for myself I can say I've gotten over
it by now. Grepping the Linux tree shows quite a few other examples of
MiB so this one wont feel lonely either.
