Because it probably never can be, at least not in the US. The chances that any company would ever "recognize" a technical writing certificate as a "license to practice" to the extent that it
declines to hire a writer who lacks one when it regularly hires
engineers who don't hold a PE license is nil. What Dick as
proposed as his "new" way of viewing a certification has
always been the way most hiring companies are going to view
any kind of certificate, as a laundry list of demonstrated skills
that may or may not support their own receonceived notion of what constitutes qualifications for the technical communications contributors they're looking to hire.

That's precisely what certification means to me. I never thought of it
as a "licence to practice".
