hi

congrats on the certification, Ian!  This is a big, important milestone for
financial sustainability of FOSS!

Dugg, but if I might make a suggestion, Ian, you might want to re-submit it
to Digg with fewer acronyms.  I know that this is a really big deal, but the
acronyms make it such that most North Americans, for example, might not know
that it is a big deal.  Many North Americans are unaware of the names or
acronyms of these UK agencies.  So one possible suggestion for a change
would be:

"Open format standard is given approval by national UK agency for use in all
primary and secondary schools in the UK.  These standards are much less
expensive to administer, making this approval a real plus for UK schools."

And the headline would be:

UK national government approves open testing standards for all schools

I probably have not gotten it right in terms of "open testing standards" but
please don't use INGOTs or other acronyms in the main heading or the main
description.  You can add all the details in the comment section.  You will
be the first comment, and everyone will probably digg that comment to make
sure it stay floating at the top, as is this case:

http://digg.com/linux_unix/Linux_Foundation_We_Have_Our_Own_Patent_Arsenal

Just my two cents.  And congrats, again, Ian!
