W ed, May 2 ["x" vs. "-" between dimensions]
Hi,Tom,
I haven't talk to you for a long long time since the POSIX works. Xerox has
sent me to Asia for three years to support FXAP to solve double-byte issues.
At the end of y2k, I returned to XC and joined the GEO Team. Based on my
experiences in Asia, I feel more comfortable to use "x" to separate the two
dimensions in a media size name. An OID, such like "iso-a4_210x297mm", is
meaningful to the end users, and conforming to the format documented in the
International Standard Paper Sizes Standard (ref,
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-paper.html).
Regards,
Bob
