[Standards] new ISO document available

[Piotr Banski]

Dear all,

I have not received any remarks on that document, which is of course 
fine as long as no one has intended to submit any -- if for some reason 
you were unable to submit but would like to (or you have further 
distributed the document and know that some colleagues would like to 
register their feedback), please do so ASAP.

The editors of ISO CQLF-2 are meeting later today to finalize the draft 
standard before the upcoming ballot, by, among others, discussing the 
potential feedback gathered in the meantime, so now is the very last 
moment to submit remarks (for example to my e-mail address).

Thanks in advance and best regards,

    Piotr
