1) RELAX NG is both an Oasis standard and an ISO one, with identical technical
   content.

2) No charge is made for the use or implementation of any ISO standard; charges
   are made for copies of the standards document itself.  In the special cases
   of the country-code, language-code, and currency-code standards, where the
   standards document *is* the standard in effect, ISO charges for copies of
   the code list in database-ready format.  You are still free, however, to
   type in the codes yourself, and the content is available all over the net.
