How very cute.
What money was spent by that company between 1993
and 2001 on standardization was chiefly for
JTC1/SC2/WG2 and CEN/TC304 activities, and it was
spent with the agreement of the two co-owners
co-directors who both signed the cheques. For my
part, I regret not one penny of the money we
chose to spend on standardization travel, nor one
minute of the time I invested in drawing up
script and character proposals. If I may be so
bold to say so, the Unicode Standard and ISO/IEC
10646 -- and computer users worldwide -- are
better off for the "investment" made between 1994
and 2001 than they would have been otherwise.
