It says in the DACS manual that the committee that produced this standard
could not reconcile differences between the US standard and RAD (Canadian).
Other than that, I don't know, but ISAD(G) is an international standard.

I have a question about your comment that DACS is a US standard. That
implies that it may conflict with some non-US archival traditions. Can
anyone give us examples of DACS practices that conflict with archival
practices outside the US?
