Hi,

personally I don't have a preference for putting a dot or not. Well, 
maybe we should put them in cases where it will make things clearer 
(like the example above: We don't want to talk about milliseconds^2 but 
meters time second^-1). However, I have a strong feeling against putting 
the dot on the line (like a full stop). I've never seen that before 
anywhere. LaTex gives you an easy way to put it 'in the middle' (\cdot) 
and I'm in favor of this solution (in cases where it helps the 
understanding).

Greetings, Markus
