I talked to some of my coworkers around here that know a bit more about
Braille than I do. The story seems to be as follows: There are official
rules from Marburg. You should be able to get these xxx. We at SBS have
slightly different rules (the differences mostly with indication and
capitalization). These are also in German and are available as doc or
Braille. The claim is that they are better structured and easier to get
started with than the official rules. Finally there is a new
standardization process in the works that will produce new rules which
will be closer to what we at SBS have now. These rules will apparently
come in effect in 1 or 2 years.
