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.
