Count me in! Along with the draft standard, I would like to see a FAQ for
the implementers.  This could include among other things the sorting and
searching algorithms and implementation notes.  Also, I would like to
archive the entire standardization thread in a well known web site.

Very well put Dr. Kalyan.  I agree with this statement wholeheartedly.

All for the love of the language.  And I would like to see more volunteer
participation.  Dr. Kalyan and his small committed band of supporters need
help, particularly from computer professionals who are likely to use this
standard.
