The US gets only one vote on an ISO standard.  The only way to stop a
bad standard is to get people in other countries to get their national
member bodies to vote against it.  However, X3J17 may be able to
influence the standard before it gets to that point.  Richard's
complaints about the possible standard (is that what they're about?)
should not cause anyone to avoid X3J17.
