If you want the actual ISO standard, I'm sure someone here knows the
answer on how to obtain it (I don't)...

A good book, authored by the "father of SGML", is Charles Goldfarb's
SGML Handbook published by Oxford University Press. This is about as
close as I've seen to an authoritative SGML text without actually
going to the ISO standard doc itself...
