I'd also love to see polarity, component markings, and  wash/and wave
information in the specs that tell you if the component has to be hand
soldered at a final step or if you can install it prior to any wave
soldering and aqueous cleaning steps. Some manufacturer's do include this
information, but many out there do not.

If this information is so readily available, why don't manufacturers just
quote land patterns in their data sheets as a standard part of the format?
Very few do, and it's a real pain to ring up every one of them every time
to get this information. Yet everyone seems to accept this as the way it
is!

Can't IPC bring any pressure to bear on manufacturers to provide this
information as standard? Jack?
