I honestly don't think it'll happen. :( Perhaps, as a vendor, I shouldn't
be so up front about it, but maybe a bit of honesty will be refreshing. ;)

Of course, if you want NFR's software to comply with a given standard,
just write the name of the standard on the back of a purchase order for
a few hundred units and send it to my sales team - you'll get their
undivided attention. ;)
