Yep ...

Not ever had any of those in my use of it ... sorry no can help ...

Rather too European, than too American ... :-))

Standards compliance, is something that it is a bit late to do much about, and 
only by "enforcing" some "new" standards will we get by that problem, but new 
standards, have their own problems ...

 RT>>>>  not part of the decision making ...

 MK>>> It is here.

 MK> Bah!  No guts no glory.

Less freedom here to follow that route ... :-(
