Copies of C++ committeee documents are generally available only to members
of the C++ committee. You can purchase a copy of the current draft from X3.
Later this year a version will made available for public comment on a
public ftp site. An announcement will be made here and in other places
when the details are known.

Stroustrup's "The Design and Evolution of C++" has a discussion of RTTI
which is quite similar to what appears in the draft. In addition, the
RTTI described in the April 1995 public-comment version of the draft does
not differ much from the latest version. I believe that draft is still
available at
        research.att.com:/dist/c++std/WP
        ftp.maths.warwick.ac.uk:/pub/c++/std/WP
        ftp.su.edu.au:/pub/C++/CommitteeDraft
