Lisa,

I have just submitted this comment on behalf of SC22/WG5.

The Fortran Standard (ISO/IEC 1539-1:2010) is a large document of 603 
pages plus 18 pages of front material. It is written in Latex, which 
supports the automatic numbering of clauses, subclauses, and notes, and 
the automatic creation of the index, the contents list, references, hot 
links, and bookmarks. This works well and it would be a huge effort to 
switch to another system. I wish you well with your work on improving 
the ISO Template, but request that we should not be required to use it. 
Most ISO Standards are much shorter than ours and have quite different 
requirements.

John Reid, Convener, ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG5
