Hello Fred,

FTSC complient as documented by the FTSC in FTS-5001.

So you say, but that is just YOUR opinion.

Documenting current practise and calling it a standard is fine as long as
current practise is unambiguous and consistent.

Unfortunately there is not one single current practice. There are softwares
around that do things in conflicting ways. Documenting all of it as a standard
is unworkable. Making standards is making choices between incompatible
alternatives.

Demanding that the FTSC documents all current parctises as standards is asking
for a mission impossible.


Cheers, Michiel
