DSSSL can be bought from GCA or from ANSI or Global Engineering or
whoever else sells ISO standards and draft standards in the U.S.

I quote from the blurb in the latest GCA mailing:

	Document Style Semantics and Specification Language
	(DSSSL) ISO/IEC DIS 10179

	This newly revices International Standard defines the Document
	Style Semantics and Specification Language (DSSSL) for the
	specification of document processing.

	The DSSSL standard provides a means of expessing the full
	range of document production specifications, including high
	quality typography required by the graphic arts industry.
	These specifications are defined by standard DSSSL semantics
	which allow users to fully specify the characteristics they
	wish to apply during document processing, such as composition,
	pagination, imposition, and data management facilities.

	The concepts behind DSSSL are associated with those that led
	to the development of generic coding, and specifically, with
	SGML.  The exchange and separation of all information
	associated with a document, including content, style, logical
	and layout structures, is the focus of the DSSSL Standard.

	GCA member USD 18.50 / non-member USD 26.50
	Order number IPB0018

I called the local ISO outlet today and they want NOK 670 for it,
which is roughly equivalent to USD 95 with the high exchange rate
we're seeing this summer.

GCA can be reached at 1-703-519-8157 (fax at 548-2867), mail to
Graphic Communications Association
100 Daingerfield Road, 4th Fl
Alexandria, VA  22314-2888

Culled from their "Information Technologies Publications & Resources"
brochure, a six-page list of SGML-relevant material.  I'm sure they
would be happy to send people a copy if they ask for it.

(I'm not affiliated with GCA, except that I consider becoming a
member.)

I don't know what FOSI is.
