To correct the spelling, it's X12, the top-level ANSI committee 
designation on Electronic Data Interchange.  (X3 is the corresponding 
one on information processing.)  Hence standards which they release will 
be X12.foo, just as X3 put out X3.64, etc.

Not to be confused with CCITT letter.number standards, like X.25, X.400,
etc.  ANSI is letternumberdotnumber, while CCITT is letterdotnumber.
