RE: Ontolex as an ISO international standard

Dear Philipp,

I've no experience with ISO, but would gladly support.
However, if I had to give a priority, I would rather consider moving from a W3C community outcome to a W3C recommendation. What about it? 
I did not even consider compatibility aspects (I guess ISO standardization and W3C recomm. just require different actions to be taken independently), but mere priority considering that both of them might take considerable effort.

Cheers,

Armando
