Kind of like Wikipedia article

I think that the direction this article is going at isn't what Citizendium articles are supposed to be like. It contains a 2-sentence introduction & then goes straight into the tables. History, background, why it came to be used, who were behind it, etc. should be included. & the tables make the article look really confusing. We should have the tables in some auto-hide format (similar to the templates in Wikipedia that you click to expand). (Chunbum Park 11:13, 29 November 2007 (CST))

I disagree, this article is very useful, exactly because of its tables. It probably gives too much credit to Wikipedia, though, because I would guess that the tables are a fairly straightforward copy of tables provided by NIST or standardization committees.--Paul Wormer 08:42, 20 May 2008 (CDT)
