Thanks for the help.
It occurred to me that maybe the TA cranks are and BB's are a little bit of each but none in particular.

Meaning..... ISO and JIS isn't an exact science in practice, so what the taper actually is may not be exactly either one. Who knows. As long as the taper fits without either bottoming out or not going in very far..... the label really doesn't matter. If you you access to a bunch of BB's, then it's no problem. Most of us don't though.
If TA is off in their descriptions.... they really go all-out then!! I'm not saying I disagree with you or have any other intention here... but check out their PDF for the new Vortex crank clearly stating ISO.

I know of Peter White. I talked to him years ago about wheels on the phone and he's great to talk to. Email's are a short reply only. Email is cold. I'm trying to get to the bottom of this on my own as much as I can though, as I wouldn't be buying the crank or BB from him.
