ENSI, the Esoteric Non-existent Standards Institute, now officially does
not exist in order to standardize unstandardized standardizable things.
This is important for the development of non-standard-compliance in
esoteric languages.

ENSI currently has one (for some odd reason) existant member, 203
non-existant members and 3 members that we know exist, but deny it.

Feel free to join ENSI (at a rate of 2000 Zorkmids per year)!

This document specifies a draft proposal for a standardized brainfuck as
worked out by the non-existant subcommitee XYZZY-1234.

Meetings are held every first Kermet-The-Frog-Day of a month. Registration
costs are 420 Zorkmids.

> The point is after all to have a standard to NOT comply to.

It doesn't disturb me, however, if there happened to be some program that
is ENSI compliant. How about saying that "no program can be ENSI
compliant" but actually allowing them to be?

I propose we take all communities with zero members to be automatically
members of ENSI. This has the nice side-effect of creating a paradox if
(when?) ENSI loses all its members.
