Hm, and they were nothing before becoming a weights and measures org. 
and now they've expanded into those finer arts.
After all they ARE the International Standards Organization. 
I'd hazard a guess that architectural engineers are not very deeply
involved in defining any of the programming standards and vice versa. :-)
As far as i understand the standard is maintained by ISO, but there is a 
committee of well established programmers who collect and rule over the 
recommendations. At least that's what i gathered when i was searching the 
net for ANSI/ISO related documents some time back.
