Hmmm, I see two choices on the website - $18 and $245.... I can see
spending $18, but I like your price of $3 better. Can you send me exactly
how to find that one?

Yeah, personally I don't like paying very much for standards - the cost of
printing and delivery would be fair for many of them. Most of the
standards committees I've been involved with have had all volunteers doing
the work.
