"Murata has released the ultra small 01005 (GRM02) MLCC with well-established 
technologies to precisely control the material and process that determine the 
properties of electronic components. Comparing with 0201 size product, 
01005-size product has an area reduction of 45% and a volume reduction of 30%."

I took the above to mean:

1210->1206->0603->0402->0201->01005 rather than being Metric?

Digging more into the Digikey catalog it looks the above parts are given in
EIA, but they also have Tantalum capacitors that have dual dimensions,
so if you just see "1005" you can't be sure which size they are referring to
without other information, that at the time I did not have.
