It seems the former ("tongyi ma") rather than the latter ("biaozhun wanguo
ma").
Some searches (done in Big5, of course--not romanization):
"tongyi ma" (U_Chinese2.gif):
Altavista: 66 matches
Yahoo (Chinese/Hong Kong/Taiwan): 78 matches
Microsoft Taiwan: 100 matches
("Yahoo Chinese" != "Yahoo China". I couldn't get through to
Microsoft Hong Kong's search page.)
Also IUC10 page (http://www.unicode.org/iuc/iuc10/languages.html)
is "tongyi ma".
Java glossary (http://java.sun.com/docs/glossaries/glossary.print.html)
seems to not display properly, but the "Simplified Chinese"
translation is "tongyi ma".
"biaozhun wanguo ma" (U_Chinese3.gif):
Altavista: 7 matches
Yahoo (Chinese/Hong Kong/Taiwan): 1 match
Microsoft Taiwan: 78 matches
I do wonder, however, if "biaozhun wanguo ..." was meant as a translation
of "ISO ...".
