I know there are issues with publishing ISO standards gratis. However, Goldfarb's book annotating the SGML standard sells for much less than the standard itself. This implies price flexibility when it comes to value added products. What is the level of feasibility for hyperlinking the handbook to the standard (and the on-line standard to the handbook) so that we get an annotated standard at no additional cost in labor? --- (Would it be desirable to de-certify DSSSL as an ISO standard and either move it to W3C or make it a stand-alone ad-hoc standard?)
