That's surprisingly uncommon among standardization organizations. I wish IETF could do the same for RFCs...

the odds of some alien race being familiar with the concept of integers, is a lot higher than the odds that they'll understand english.

Why would you say such a thing? In *every* science fiction movie I saw the spoke perfect English.

It's too late. I wanted buy one, but it's sold out. Anyone wants to swap? I'm willing to offer in return two high-performance, no bit-loss guaranteed, 1 meter long USB2.0 cables, 500USD each. They are from the same high-end category: my HDD started to work faster when connected through those cables, my piece of crap webcam suddenly became streaming full HD. It's really a life changer!
