We needed some sort of decision now because we had to decide what to put into the documents. But such a motion stands only until it is revised. Which it will be. Your note suggests to me that many people at WG9 didn't understand what we were trying to decide. (Or I was lied to.) In any case, it's clear that I'll have to make sure that what I understood actually is done. ("Revisiting" doesn't necessarily mean "change", of course, just that it is properly considered.) > Of course, ISO cannot rule how people speak, > so anybody can call the language the way he wants. The official name > will be ISO/IEC 8652:1995 with corr. 1 and amdmt 1. You mean the official name of the documents. That will be: ISO/IEC 8652:1995 with CORR1:2001 and AMD.1:200y (where the "y" will be replaced by the publication year). I doubt many people will use that for any purpose. Randy.
