[SystemSafety] UL4600

[Olwen Morgan]

Interesting.

On the first slide there is a bullet point that reads: "How to 
contribute to the next version"

Call me a bigoted British pedant, but my reading of this is that it's 
implicit admission that UL think it's OK to publish something that they 
know might have serious holes that they plan to patch as they go later. 
In my experience, it's a common practice in the arrantly dysfunctional 
culture that permeates standardisation in the US. They often don't even 
write the documents in correct, leave alone succinct, English!

Sorry, Phil K. ... Nothing personal. ... It's just based on long and 
jaundiced experience in Cystopia.
