Yes, why don't the large suppliers of systems tell the card and card IC suppliers what is needed, and then participate in the 7816 standards work to push the necessary changes through? There has been a considerable revision of 7816 under way for the last 2 years, and we don't even get a list of the technical changes.
Today and tomorrow there is an open conference in London hosted by ICAO and ISO/IEC JTC1 SC17, mainly on the technology of travel documents. I can't make it today but will be there tomorrow. 14443 bridges across to 7816-4, so the problems of 7816 are hitting the travel document developments. EMV, incidentally, is still not 7816 compliant, although I'm now aware that considerable efforts are being put into converging 7816, ETSI SCP and EMV. Still needs to be brought into the open, though.
