INCITS/ISO/IEC 14882-2003 price is $30, not $20.

ISO/IEC 14882:2003 is priced at "$381.00 Full MBR Price: $304.80"
(British BS ISO/IEC 14882:2003 Price: $622.00)

ISO should sue INCITS (ANSI) for price dumping to begin with.

But why should I pay even 20 cents to american national body ONLY given
that other national bodies are also involved in the process?

Note also that a whole bunch of ISO standards are available for free to
download (just like *all* ECMA standards).
