VRML 1.0 wasn't an ISO standard. For VRML97 and particularly X3D, Dick Puk and sometimes Steve Carson sat there day in a day out both keeping the standard on track, but also making valuable technical suggestions, particulary Dick who is working on the open VRML list to this day. ISO has performed brilliantly. They weren't rubber stamps. That's really wrong, but also, it is exactly the kind of misinformation that destroys the reputations of valuable organizations and people. They may not be your cup of tea, but for business processes, they are far better. len From: David Megginson [mailto:dmeggin@a...] Thanks for the list, Ken -- it should provide a reasonable basis for comparision with computer tech specs that have come out of processes other than ISO's and ANSI's. Some of these I would disregard, either because they have not caught on (i.e. the graphics formats), or because they are primarily rubber-stamps on existing, outside work (such as RelaxNG or VRML)
