All together now: DTR 14652 is **NOT** going to be an
International Standard! It FAILED to become a standard due to
stong critisism (which the editor did not want to move on).
It was retargeted to be a Technical Report, and as such it
will be an informative, NOT a normative, document.
That being cleared up once again, I'm, however, not sure what
Keld means either.
Kind regards
