The argument about altered standards is just plain silly. Given a
monetary incentive, I can have the whole standard rekeyed. Given
the OCR equipment I have in my office, I can scan the whole document
at fairly low cost.
What I want I timely access to the latest draft standards. It would
be nice if this was cheaper than NALPS, but my main motivation is
*timely*. If I suddenly need a draft of POSIX.7, or an old draft of
POSIX.2, it would be nice to get it at FTP speeds.
