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. > A second question: what implementations are there of RELAX NG?
