I understand that the WG14 / ISO copyright situation can be somewhat
complicated (and in the past ISO expressed some dislike about the
existance of that WG14 website). On the other hand, what you write would
hold for any text, website, etc, which is kind of impractical (how do I
know then I am allowed to read your message that I'm replying to here?).

Anyway, those N documents are not meant to be hidden by WG14. There is a
list of them
(http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/wg14_document_log.htm),
which is linked from the WB14 website
(http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/).
AFAIK, it is disputed who own the copyright to the individual N
documents there, and it might even differ by legislation (in particular
there might be US vs. EU law differences).
