One of the advantages of participating in the standard-making process is
that you can write your code against the draft standards then (hopefully)
make some minor tweaks when the standard is finalized. I don't know if this
happened in this case, but it's one reason why companies spend money on
supporting standards bodies -- to stay a step ahead of the competition. I
did that with one of my companies to great effect, skunking my competitors
by over a year as they tried to catch up with the technology.
