X3J11 has been trying to get the %#@%$% thing out the door for quite some
time now.  The combination of lengthy public-review cycles and official
meetings held only quarterly means that a standard which needs *three*
public-review cycles will be in "almost finished, no substantive changes
without a damn good reason" status for a long time.  Sounds like you came
on the scene after that phase started.
