(Responding to Topmind as Bob wont hear this - Hear no evil, See no evil, speak no evil????)

Sure they are very precise, but their implementations tend not to be. Working in Telecomms I gave up ever finding a vendor who _fully_ implemented any of the standards. Not to mention the Vendor extensions they put in.

Ignoring that (sore - for me) point, those standards take so long to be made and ratified by the committees that they are being left behind by the industry. Witness the latest Wifi 802.11 N standard - vendors have been shipping products with it for the last year, yet it isn't even ratified yet. Received on Mon Jul 03 2006 - 16:33:41 CDT
