Nothing pessimistic about it, just the truth.  If the standard
doesn't pass this time, there won't be one (for Class 2).  The
revision and extension of Class 1 is proceeding very nicely, though,
and I think it will ultimately be a better solution anyway.  But I'm
not giving up on Class 2 yet; the last rumor I heard is that the
companies that voted "no" last time will vote favorably or abstain
this time, so it may pass.
