So why not quote the whole standard, through hyperlinks ? I know that
novell is giving access to a *draft* only version of the DSSSL text,
but having the real standard on line could be interesting.

Does copyright issue prevents the online publishing of the DSSSL
standard? This problem seems to be solvable as there is already (at
least) one other ISO standard on line. I'm refering to the ISO/IEC
8652:1995, also known as the "Ada Reference Manual". It is available
 at URL :

Isn't possible to do something equivalent for the DSSSL text.
