Christian Huitema in the second edition of his "Routing in the Internet"
(ISBN 0-13-022647-5) on p. 163 (paragraph 7.2.1 ISO, OSI, and Routeing)
seems to suggest that "routeing" is a part of ISO standards parlance
(along with "intermediate systems" instead of routers, "domains" instead
of networks etc. etc.). So "routeing" might be in the ISO world what
"routing" is in the IETF world.

I'm not a native English speaker but IMHO English grammar rules say that
"routing" is correct, right?
