    ISO/IEC 14651 (International string ordering and comparison) is
    developed in both French and English, in parallel, and as anyone
    involved in the process can verify, it is a complete nightmare, with
    the working group meetings bogged down in endless hours of niggling
    over the differences between the French and the English texts.
