To settle a debate on semantics/language - Why do the BSI use the US spelling of words such as 'authorize' etc (with a Z) rather the UK spelling with a 's'??

BS 5839 for example, is full of Zs!!

After all, if it's a BRITISH standard, why not use British Standard spelling??

It's language policy planing matter messy!
