	You can look at it the other way. Having a committee meeting
in which the X3J16 people send 50 delegates all of whom argue on the
spot about the USA National position slows down the normal ISO process.
WG21 usually reaches consensus much more quickly than X3J16 -- its
easier for 5-8 Heads of Delegation to find common ground than 80
individuals.
