Group,

I feel a need to explain this situation further.  I asked Linda if she
would pose this question so that we could find out from some other
"experts" their thoughts, but I was not clear on the specifics.  So...
here goes.

We have a LARGE series of documents that refer to Bellcore 
Standard
TR-303.  Bellcore has changed its name to Telcordia Technologies 
and has
changed the standard to GR-303.  Now, this is a Standard that is 
used and
recognized, in its "old" form, throughout the telecommunications 
industry.
 When they changed their name and the Standard number, there 
are now
thousands of documents "floating around" in our company and in 
other
companies that refer to the "old way".  

Does anyone working in the industry know whether these should 
be updated
for EVERY document in circulation, or will either reference be
acceptable/understood?  

I would be especially pleased if anyone at Telcordia can address 
this
issue.  Thanks for the time and sorry for the confusion.
