Perhaps ANSI in the USA won't allow the ISO standards to be put on-line
(are they really that short-sighted?), how about an Internet site in
some other country: Canada is the obvious choice. Maybe Australia will
be on the Internet some day. What is the situation with making
material for which you have local copyright available to a world 
network?

Anyway we don't want the standard ISO documents on-line. They're
incomprehensible (except for the CLN documents which are nice). What
we want is a description of the protocols that us ordinary folk can
read.
