For those interested in trading electronic designs and CAD/CAE information,
EDIF V 2 0 0 was accepted on March 14, 1988 as "ANSI/EIA RS548-1987 (SP2086)"
or ANSI RS-548 as a short form. Doesn't mean a lot in practice unless you
buy parts etc. An AN{I standard may be cited as a legal specification etc.

There is an ongoing effort to get US DOD MIL Spec recognition, and certification
by the IEC (International Electrical Commission) which is the counterpart to
ISO for hardware related stuff.
