Another aspect that seems to be glossed over is the "Incorporated By Reference" (IBR). Just as in programming, the fact that I refer to something in a pointer doesn't mean that it remains constant.
What prevents the writers of a standard from changing it after a legislative body approves it as IBR?
If a standard is determined to be better served by a change (due to safety, correction, or some other metric), does it need to be re-approved by the same legislative body? Or does the legislative body need to be informed of the change, and determine if it needs re-approval?
