So far, correct. However, the IEEE Standards Department is reexamining the issue in light of technology changes etc.; some answer should be expected in the next few months. Note: Although I chair an IEEE working group, this should not be construed as a committment on the part of IEEE or anyone else, for that matter. I'm relating what I understand of what's going on; I may be wrong, mistaken, or confused (not to mention misled). Jason Zions
