- I don't think that that was Thomas' point. If you look at our email
- domains, you will realize that with regards to standardization, ANSI
- has about the same weight as K&R for us:-). An ANSI standard is a
- standard in the United States, but not, or at least not de jura,
- elsewhere. (In practice, of course, in the absense of a competing ISO
- standard, ANSI standards tend to become de facto standards even here.)
