Another implementation does not change and improve the standard. The standard remains unchanged. IMHP, the whole concept is probably quite pointless. After all, C# is an open standard, but Emacs Lisp is not. And neither are TeX nor LaTeX. To me, it doesn't seem to be a useful category to think in. _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
