As a matter of fact, except for the CCITT boilerplate, X.200 is
identical with IS 7498, at least it was in 1984 when I was the
editor of X.200. The advantage of the CCITT versions is, as
Markus states, that they are all in the X.2nn series and are
likely to be contained in a single bluebook volume (read
cheaper :-) ).
