Sounds good to me.
Some people keep saying they can't believe that people are asking why they have to pay for "standards", yet the idea of "free" source to software is well understood. Linux and many other pieces of software have been created by volunteers and the output from their work finds a place on the net for all to have at.
Look at this mailing list. It is free to use thanks to Mr. Control himself Ken Crater. In the October issue of "Industrial Computing" Mr Crater has an article about Linux, GPL and the need for this "industry to open itself" up. Maybe Mr.
Crater will provide the web space for the standards to be placed on. This will save ISA the cost of housing the standards and everything will be groovy.
