Hi Marko:

This issue was first brought to my attention by a client that makes DSL 
equipment for a PTT customer in Asia.  However, it is likely to eventually 
become a problem for compliance in Europe and South America, where the 
regulatory requirements typically refer to K.20.

I think there may be a transition period, because many of the applicable 
regulations refer specifically to earlier editions of K.20.  However, 
whenever a regulation that references K.20 is updated, it typically calls out 
the latest edition.
