ISO/IEC DIS 29500 receives necessary votes for approval as an International Standard

And here it is, just for completeness.

I can see why it took two days to write... it's one of the most neutral, watertight press releases I have seen. Even when they do digress into an area of possible contention (i.e. what the standard is allegedly for) they point the origin of the claim directly back at the originating party.

Well, I wish them all the best with that one. I'm sure they'll be very happy together.
