This does illustrate some of the problems with the absurdly long terms of
copyright. This is an important document and which is now unavailable it
seems. But I cannot send you a copy because that is not allowed.

If something has been published and is now out of print you should be able
to copy it.

Tim,
Actually, for the '85 Standard (not the '02 Standard), I think that the
"Acknowledgement" does allow you to share copies.  I have a PDF that I was
thinking of posting but am not certain my webspace has enough room.
