RE: Change Proposal for ISSUE-101 (us-ascii-ref)

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.

Hi Julian,

I think you've missed at least one negative effect: as far as I can
tell, ANSI.X3-4.1986 isn't freely available and linkable online. At
least, I haven't been able to find a copy that the spec could link to.
