That would be circular: the "standard" _is_ a document.

On-line help falls under the category of "electronic documents", as
far as I'm concerned...  In view of some documentation (on-line or
printed) I have seen, I would be more concerned with exactly _how_ the
"document" defines all implementation-defined issues (i.e. is one
supposed to understand what they're saying?).
