In addition to the work on ISO 13522, another, complementary
standard is being developed in ANSI X3V1: SMSL - Standard Multimedia
Scripting Language. I would encourage everyone interested in the
development of a compatible set of standards to join the ANSI
Task Group working on this project. The project editor is Brian
Markey of Permanent Wave Productions. The Task Group chair is
Dr. Charles Goldfarb. For information on attending the next ANSI
meeting, scheduled for June in San Jose, contact Rudolf Riess -
