But one must note that it would be the case 
had ISO itself not agreed to make changes 
to the ISO standard to ratify the changes 
that citation from XML would make necessary.  A change 
of name isn't enough; you have to establish 
the authority of the named entity and its 
relationship to the authority of other entities 
which it references.   That was all done 
and sensibility prevailed.
