Eric,

I'm not saying these standardization bodies *should* mandate a specific
formatting of page-oriented publications, but if they *do* anyway - as
AECMA does in the Spec 1000D - shouldn't it be *better*? Ofcourse it
should, since the mandated spec of the formatting will be used by the
vendors in lack of their own style guides.

That, and only that is my point.

Sincerely,
Mats Broberg
