I have just done a rather massive update to my SI references page. The change 
involved was the addition of a significant amount of explanatory material. 
The goal I had in mind was to help the reader (especially my students) put 
the various standards into perspective.

I've been dealing with standards in one way or another since the 1960s and it 
has dawned on me that for some reason my students do not inately possess what 
I have gleaned from some forty years of practice. This discussion now 
appearing on my page provides a snippet of my insight into the world of 
standards and will hopefully get them started.

Many thanks to various people for commenting on a draft of some of the 
material that went into this. They are acknowledged at the end of the page, 
which may be found at

I request that members of this list read the page, time permitting, and 
provide their comments to me, whether onlist or off.

Many thanks!

Jim
