that's unfair & incorrect.
ISO 7816-3 & 4 were defined decades ago by card
manufacturer working together.

the title of this topic is still correct:
"how to recognize _a_ card by its ATR"
the point is that no card manufacturer, nor
any card integrator work with _a_ card,
everybody works with a chosen, known card.

everybody but people that plays (not works)
with cards of course - the specs do not cover
this point ... except the huge banking specs
that did care about terminal stuff regarding
card capabilities.
