- I feel a little silly stating the obvious, but it was the ANSI
- committee that actually developed the standard. ISO renumbered
- sections, dropped the Rationale, and put their number on the front.

- ANSI committee is the one that actually wrote the standard. Why
- shouldn't they get some informal credit?
