Good gracious me.

"Each year on 14 October, the members of ISO, the IEC and ITU 
celebrate World Standards Day, which is a means of paying tribute to 
the collaborative efforts of the thousands of experts worldwide who 
develop the voluntary technical agreements that are published as 
international standards."

Even better than tribute would be if ISO, IEC, and ITU would make a 
contribution to the Script Encoding Initiative, at 
http://www.linguistics.berkeley.edu/~dwanders/.

(That goes for all of you. It's tax-deductible in the US and the end 
of the tax year approacheth.)
