<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Chris,<BR>
<BR>
Speaking of GSM and GSM's original standardizers, I had suggested to Kicki off-list that ETSI might be a more receptive place to start, especially if it got a nudge from the Commission. You have an opinion on that?<BR>

Well, GSM Cellphone chips have one corner cut off.<BR>
Otherwise, we would all have trouble knowing which way up to put the chip in<BR>
the slot.<BR>

It is, because as you noted, even normally-sighted people have problems<BR>
knowing which way to insert cards.<BR>
<BR>

<BR>
Well at least that's consistent with denying that the current embossing<BR>
is a very good indication of which way up the card is.<BR>

<BR>
I can see why cutting a corner off the card would cause all sorts of<BR>
problems with card-handling apparatus.<BR>
<BR>
Are you really sure a Braille marker on that corner you'd otherwise have<BR>
cut off isn't a suitable proxy?<BR>
