   It is, however, reasonable for a company to say that they will only   
   implement the approved standard. However, I don't know for what reasons,   
   the standard will not be expanded for some reason I don't know, either   
   temporarily or permanently. That company should push hard for the   
   standard to expand. Maybe this can not be. And say clearly when the   
   standard is expected to be ready. IF.   
      
   In that case, said company should implement instead the existing   
   proprietary method, which perhaps, I do not know, has been offered free   
   of charge. Even as a temporary measure while the standard is developed,   
   for the benefit of all users.
