    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
