I don't know if ATT is a member or not. If you are member you should have access through your representative. I have not seen any ATT participation. I saw your comments on comp.std.internet and agree with some of them. Others are being addressed. For instance one of the XoJIG papers covers standardizing locales to solve the remote access problem. For example if en_US.8859-1 means exactly the same thing on all systems, then remote access can be made sensible. See my comments on comp.std.internet.
