While the sentiment is appreciated, it seems important to gently push back a bit, and remind: This is a decentralized currency, and we should avoid centralizing decisions. This is something that impacts the community at large, and deserves input and discussion at every level. I would suggest posting on all possible forums "proposal: switch to uBTC, labelled as ISO prefers (XBT?)" and see what sort of discussion is generated. If the support is broad, it will be plain from the responses if there is a consensus. Perhaps everyone will agree it is the best course, and we can make an easy change.
