ISO procedures (Was: Re: [xml-dev] W3C Voting (Was: XML Catalogs finished?))

There is a good description of the ISO process at

and nice diagram at

Interesting that ISO now has 12000 standards, from fire
     ISO 9994:2002    Lighters -- Safety specification
to water (and earth)
      ISO 8099:2000  Small craft -- Toilet waste retention systems 
to air
     ISO 22643:2003  Space data and information transfer systems -- 
     Data entity dictionary specification language (DEDSL) -- XML/DTD Syntax 
to wood (for Simon)
     ISO 2729:1995  Woodworking tools -- Chisels and gouges
