[Mp4-tech] IEEE 1180 IDCT std. is withdrawn

[Vollmar, Kenneth R]

Does it (should it) bother anyone in the MPEG community that IEEE
1180-1990, "Standard Specifications for the Implementations of 8x8
Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform" has been withdrawn but is still
referenced by MPEG?
The IEEE 1180-1990 standard was first administratively withdrawn in
October 1996, because of lack of activity. IEEE 1180 was reaffirmed in
December 1997 after it was pointed out that it was still referenced by
the MPEG standard. The IEEE 1180 standard has now again been classified
as a "Withdrawn Standard" by IEEE in Feb. 2003 (see
http://standards.ieee.org/db/status/status.txt) and by ANSI on 9 Sept.
2001 (see ANSI Standards Action, Vol. 32, #16, Aug. 10, 2001,
http://public.ansi.org/ansionline/Documents/Standards%20Action/Archives/
2001%20PDFs/SAV3210.pdf ), and is not currently supported by either
organization.
