- IEEE (like other standards organizations) explicitely proscribes the
- distribution of standard drafts, electronically or otherwise, after
- publication of the standard. This keeps folks from believing they have the
- standard when they don't. If something close to the standard is good
- enough, use R4RS. If you have to have the real thing, you've got to pay
- for it. For those who missed the standard distribution information, here
- it is again.
