Which country?  Which bodies?  Where can I find details?

What do you mean by recognise?  Do you mean that file (the command  
line utility) will identify it for what it is or do you mean that  
Gnome is going to write text editors for it?  The former wouldnæt  
bother me, the latter would.

Yup.  Tech age underpinned by humans... so looking after people is as  
necessary as ever.
