>The point of a standards process is not what you put into the spec, >its what you leave out. Well said! Joaquin (And certainly true. It has to be understood, of course. Example: A bolt standard lists many combinations of diameter and thread pitch. Many. But a vanishingly small percentage of the possible combinations, almost all of which are left out of that standard. (In our business, a very effective way to ensure there is n o t interoperability is to provide many options.)
