Dear Michali,
That's exactly what I meant by the term "amendment". Long ago Mike Ksar had
informed me
that in fact such changes are only done by à posteriori amendments that's why i

used the expression "ussual practice in the standardisation field..".
How's everything?
I miss terribly the Guiness.
