The MHS-DS group in general (and myself in particular) have been aware
of the ongoing ISO activity in this area.   Earlier versions of the
MHS-DS documents were reviewed by the UK(BSI) group, which included
the ISO Editor for this area (Robert Willmott) and I attended to help
with this process.   The group planned to incorporate ideas from the
MHS-DS work.


In technical terms, there were some similarities and quite a few
differences.   In my view, the ISO drafts were unimplementable, and
needed very substantial work to get them to a state where they might
be usable.   I understand that there is little ongoing work in the
group.


The possibility of a joint ISO/IETF meeting on this topic has been
discussed.  I believe that this would be useful.
