The development of this standard has been very difficult and highly controversial. While this First Edition gained enough positive votes for publication, the originating committee acknowledges that it needs substantial improvement. However, this won't happen to the extent necessary unless people who are not involved in the standards-making process but are potential users of the standard, buy and study it AND SUBMIT THEIR CRITIQUES THROUGH THE APPROPRIATE NATIONAL STANDARDS CHANNELS. If they don't do this, the planned Second Edition will still be unsatisfactory. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
