Seconded.  The starting point on the paper-chase to getting a copy of the
real draft standard is

	The Computer and Business Equipment Manufacturers' Association
	311 First Street NW, Suite 500
	Washington DC 20001-2178

	Phone: +1 202 737 8888
	Fax:   +1 202 638 4922

You will almost certainly be referred to a commercial outfit which, for a
consideration of several tens of dollars, will consign the goods to the
tender mercies of the US mail for you.  Sorry, but I don't have the
address of that organisation.  Good luck.
