Talk:ISO/IEC 646

ISO 646 should be ISO/IEC 646; similarly for 8859 and 10646. Presumably page names can't include a slash; is there some convention for representing this? In any case, since it's a global change affecting links I'll leave it for someone with a robot to do...

dates

Could someone add the dates when ISO 646 and ISO 8859 became popular?

Who won the race?

During the 1960s, there was debate regarding whether character encoding standards [...] for computers should follow 1) existing practice in the telecommunications industry [...] or, conversely, 2) existing practice in the punched-card portion of the computer industry [...].

Well, who was the winner? --Abdull 20:21, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

EBCDIC is the descendent of punched-card codes, ASCII is a descendent of old Baudot-type codes, and pretty much everything else being used nowadays is a descendent of ASCII... AnonMoos 10:53, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
