Yes, I'm reading through the book right now... I noted that you made the
common mistake of thinking ISO = International Standards Organization..
This is wrong.

The organization is actually the IOS, or "International Organization for
Standardization". 

They publish the ISO standards. ;)
ISO is not an acronym but rather a latin word which means "equal". like
an "isoscales triangle" in geometry, and many others. 

The idea is to achieve a guarenteed equal (ISO) level of support for a
specification from many vendors.
