This is news to me. As far as I can tell, any API that is the bulk ofan ISO 
Standard *is* useless, because you need an ISO license to use it. Smaller 
APIs might be usable as "fair use", but they can't be 90% of the Standard's 
text, as in ASIS.

On what basis do you think that "ISO allows their use by any 
implementation"; I see no such thing in any ISO Standard??
