RE: ISO 3183 & API 5L
With the greatest of respect as I know you comment on these issues with lots of knowledge and experience, the 44th edition of 5L and 3183:2007 is one and the same document jointly published. The latest ISO code and the 45th are still essentially the same so I think it is a bit far to say they "split" - maybe just "moved out for a while"
Annex N of the 44th edition is an annex of 6 pages (there might be 35 items) listing some specific items where if this is used as an American national standard, then these changes and additional items apply. Many appear to be relatively cosmetic, but I'm sure there are a few which make a difference, the intent was that it was one document and one basic specification and even in the latest two versions that still applies AFAIK.
The key differences now are that the ISO code included for an annex M for European gas pipeline material to allow EN 10208 to be withdrawn. See page 3 of this. http://www.ogp.org.uk/pubs/4014.pdf and this http://www.pngis.net/standards/details.asp?Standar... for more info
My motto: Learn something new every day
Also: There's usually a good reason why everyone does it that way
