1) It seems to me that you are confusing the copyright owner with the 
right to use the interface. Undoubtedly, ISO is the copyright owner. But 
they may authorize unlimited use of the specification, otherwise NO 
standard would make sense. Do you infringe copyright if you build an 
electrical plug that conforms to you electrical standard?

2) Comments help, because they describe precisely what is expected by 
every function, and what it provides. Actually, I never open the ASIS 
standard, everything I need is detailed in the comments.
