My comments referred to the IEC work, specifically verbal reports from
people involved. You will have noticed that the work culminated in a TS,
not a standard as originally envisaged. That in itself may be an
indication of certain difficulties in its passage through IEC. 

I think that a passionate defence of the IEE document (which I have not
studied, so will not comment on) *may* also be an indication that there
is more emotion surrounding this subject than is desirable.
