Three important items:

1. Although I have every sympathy with those who seek to make ISO/IEC
standards freely available, and with those who try to write summaries of the
material that is found in the standards, the situation that we are in is
still that only the published standard should be used when designing to that
standard, and every copy of each standard (and part thereof) has to be paid
for.

2. ISO/IEC 7816 is undergoing a major rewrite (FDIS ballot under way at the
moment, I think - see www.sc17.com and click on Outstanding Ballots), and it
is known that some technical changes have been made. 7816-4 and several
other parts have in effect been merged into the draft new 7816-4. But SC17
has not seen fit to issue any list of the technical changes, which may well
cause difficulties with implementations in the near future.

3. The EMV specification continues to be non-compliant with 7816 in some
technical details, although it is believed that the present 7816 changes
include convergence with the present change work by EMVCo.
