Just because they changed their "standards" so often that it makes almost no sense to call that standard. Maybe it is illogical, but to me the intention behind is as important as the technical substance of a standard. Or better to say, that substance can be better understood when the true intention is known... -- Regards, Dmitry A. Kazakov http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de
