Why does a standard have to be "freely available and linkable" to be acceptable? That would, by definition, invalidate standards from major bodies such as the ISO. I wouldn't think that the W3C would choose to avoid reference to such documents such as 8859-1 (ISO Latin 1) and other encoding standards.

At least, I haven't been able to find a copy that the spec could link to. -- Edward O'Connor
