   I will incorporate Markus table in the forthcoming ISO/IEC DTR 14652.
   In this way you will have an ISO specification of the data.

Keld --

I must be misunderstanding what you wrote. It appears you are
suggesting that you alone can decide what to put into the draft
TR 14652 and that you alone decide what is an ISO standard. Since
there are review rules and votes about ISO standards, I assume I
am misreading what you wrote. 

Could you clarify?
