The McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia to which Lon was referring contains a good cross-
section of ANSI, IEEE, ISO, CCITT Blue Book, and ECMA standards. The now-obso-
lete 1984 edition sold for considerably less than the cost of the individual
ISO docs it contained. I'd guess that the same is true for the 1988 edition,
but haven't actually checked.

Some of them certainly are. RFC's have a status associated with them, just
as ISO documents do. The difference is that when the IETF issues an update,
it issues a new RFC number. ISO and CCITT keep the same number regardless of
the number of revisions through which a document has gone.
