Liaison to ITU-T SG17
on Withdrawn object identifier arc in ISO/IEC 10036

Actually ISO/IEC 10036 defines that its object identifiers shall be {1 1 10036 ....}.

It is based on the definition specified by the clause 5.2.2 in ISO/IEC 9070:1991 (Information technology - SGML support facilities - Registration procedures for public text owner identifers):

*****************************************************
[8] ISO registration authority prefix =
    full registration authority prefix | ISBN prefix
    | ISO 2375 prefix
[9] full registration authority prefix = "ISO",("/",
    "aaa")?, SPACE, "nnnn",("-", "pp")?, "/",
    ("R"|"r"),("A"|"a")
The equivalent ASN.1 object identifier is
    iso(1) registration-authority(1) nnnn pp
where
    nnnn is replaced by the number of an ISO
         registration standard.
    pp   is replaced by the part number (if any).
*****************************************************

The notation specified in ISO/IEC 9070 are today widely applied to SGML/XML related standards and applications.

If the note on subclause D.3.1 of ISO/IEC 8824-1 (the use of arc registration-authority(1) under iso(1) has been withdrawn) should be absolutely valid, SC34 has to amend ISO/IEC 10036, ISO/IEC 9070 and their related standards/applications.

The SGML/XML are so much widely implemented that SC34 expects the note of ISO/IEC 8824 will be removed.
