What concerns me, is that if 18.1.2 gives license to change any provisions of the standards, then this ought to be clearly spelled out (it certainly isn't clear to me). And if that isn't the intention of the working group as a whole, then it should probably also be spelled out. -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire
