So then why didn't I use the {FUT} for future consideration?
I will not be making those standards. Committes from university and
technical user geeks will be making those standards.

Like most programmers I will be writing scripts that test those waters.

Unlike other programmers I won't be trying to get around regulations so
that I can display more advertising in everyone's face, but other people
work night and day on that. Since they might need to find a way to make
a living.

So then the governing bodies, the standards committees they have to try
to close those loop holes, and it seems to never end.

But it does get better as the standards get more refined.
