how to make a good standard:
step 1: copy from DIN
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_216#History
Well, Germans are pretty anal about standards (thankfully) and they do them right, so why not copy them?
The world would be a better place if we copied good things more often.
Imagine all of Europe copied Dutch transportation-, German prostitution- and Portugese drug-policies
oh, I totally agree with you.
In fact standards are made to be copied. That's like the entire point of them.
