Sorry, but ISO does not stand for International Standards Organization. 

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) (in French;
L'Organisation internationale de normalisation) is an international
standard-setting body composed of representatives from various national
standards bodies. Founded on 23 February 1947, the organization produces
world-wide industrial and commercial standards.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.  I'm glad to see that  we're all
learning here.  Me mostly included, as I knew nothing about ISO prior to
doing a simple Google.  Does Google make you Giggle?
