As far as I'm concerned nothing is OT here unless it is blatant trolling 
or spamming.  It makes for a far more interesting read than the groups 
that have a policy of "if it's not in the standard, we won't discuss 
it".  The set of languages that start with the third letter of the 
English language springs instantly to my mind.

Agreed that the subject line should be changed.
