I have been following this discussion with some interest.  The issue 
extends beyond proposed and enacted standards
to include laws and treaties  I represent Peter Veeck in litigation 
currently pending  before
the US Supreme Court contesting copyright of city ordinances (in our 
case, building codes).  The same arguments
are being made in our litigation as on this list.  Anyone interested in
