That's probably because neither organization had the guts to stand up and
oppose it.  Like I said, it is very similar to the old Unified 
Braille Code, but they just call it something different that they hope is
better sounding, and all of a sudden it's fine.

Well, the last I heard it will be standard for textbooks next July and NLS
will switch the first of January 2016.  Yes,  there are things that we don't
like about it.  Our country is the last English speaking country to adopt it
so there really isn't much choice. As I understand it, all of the Braille
display manufacturers, with one exception, have now included it as an
option.
