Why would something be in the standard if nobody wanted it? If people wanted it, why shouldn't it be in the standard? The social pressure would come from users who wanted the functionality. A standard would just help everybody to agree on what "it" was. >the abc2win use of '!' ... >the !foo! thingies that have been proposed for ornaments and >other annotations. These two uses are somewhat in conflict. Of course, if whichever of these came first had been included in a standard the conflict would never have arisen.
