Misinformed by Sheldon? Vintage Campagnolo and JIS/ISO

We've all seen this concerning square taper standards:

ISO models include:
  • Campagnolo
  • Older Stronglight
  • Nervar
  • TA
  • Japanese N.J.S. track parts, such as Sugino 75

The above section could be more clear if it simply read that Campagnolo switched to ISO around 1994. And new cartridge bb's with the JIS taper actually offer the better fit for vintage Campagnolo cranksets over their ISO counterparts.
