According to the iNES documentation, ROM banks are 16kB.
Is this 16000 bytes (16 kB) or 16384 bytes (16 KiB) per ROM bank? I couldn’t find this anywhere in the documentation.

16384B – the memory banks are individually adressable ROM chips, which means they need to fill in complete address space of their relevant column select lines.
Bottom line – digital hardware always uses 2^x, at least till 1990s when marketoids decided to pimp up drive sizes.
