This may be stupid misconception on my part, but...
I was just reading over the updates to ISODE and it appears to me that
after version 8.0, ISODE will no longer be publicly available, but
rather only available as a commerical product from X-Tel.  Is this
true?  If so, can anyone out there tell me more information such as
product cost, consortium membership fees, etc?  

If this is a mistake, please keep flames to a minimum.

Not quite right, not quite wrong....
ISODE will be managed by the ISODE Consortium.
One of the members of the Consortium is X-Tel.
Any Consortium member can sell ISODE for money.
ISODE will still be available for free in R&D contexts.

While I do not agree that this policy is the best for the further
development of ISO, it seems to be better than the alternative.

I think the alternative was to cease coordinated development of
ISODE altogether.
