Matthias, ISO has stopped the project to incorporate further types in 14443. They were from the USA (Go-Card), Sony, Israel, Switzerland, China.
The Chinese product was not available for demonstration, so that ruled that one out. The detailed proposals that I saw (in the UK BSI Contactless Card Technical Panel) were for incorporating these other technologies into part 2 of 14443 only (the air interface), and nothing was put forward for part 3 (initialisation and anti-collision). But maybe we should stop this thread in the MUSCLE list now. Thanks for the note about Inside.
