If anyone's interested in the X/Open documents:

I finally tracked down the right people to contact.  
Omnicom Inc. are the publishers who will gladly ship out
the desired document (in my case the Object Management API
Specification - part of X.400 Specification) for a small fee
(in my case the doc. itself will be $18, plus shipping).
The address is listed below:

Omnicom Inc.
115 Park Street SE
Vienna, VA
22180

(703) 281-1135

X/Open itself has moved to the following address:

    X/Open, Ltd.
    Apex Plaza
    Forbury Road
    Reading
    Berkshire, RG1 1AX
    United Kingdom

The email address also works, but only in the UK.

>From the US (and elsewhere), this Internet address will work:

   xpg3%xopen.co.uk@hplb.hpl.hp.com
