We should be careful. When additional non-EC groups are proposed, many
people from many different companies will probably bang on them (and
hopefully report results, even if it is 'yup, that seemed fine'). When EC
groups are proposed, the silence that is heard may be due to the fact that
only one or two companies are working on them.
Let's only standardize groups that have been tested by many people this WG
trusts.
