ISO follies redux

["Alex Silbajoris" <alsilba -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

Since I wrote earlier about having to apply a standard ISO format to all 
documents, I've received clarification that templates for deliverables need 
not conform.  What a relief!

As for the internal documents, I'm willing to abide by the rules even if 
they are silly.  I understand that they want all the documents to look the 
same, but I don't think they understand how much variability there can be 
among documents, and how a single standard will not always work well in 
every example.

This is one of the times I get disgusted enough to give someone exactly what 
they ask for, and let the poor results speak for themselves.  You would 
laugh to see a trainer's checklist that I converted.  One line has only the 
words "while the conversion is processed" spanning the full width of the 
page.  It looks like some of the early publishing software the newspapers 
were using a few years ago.

Thanks to all who responded.
