I think this post is going to contribute to semantic confusion; when most of us talk about utilons, I think we're talking about the output of a utility function.
I agree; "utilons" are units of utility, though "utils" is more standard.
We should make a systematic effort to use standard terminology wherever possible on this site - we worry enough about being a cult without replacing standard terminology with our own.
