The package "asis"  in Debian contains an *implementation* of the
standard, not the standard itself. This implementation has a version
number, in this case 2005 (in Etch) or 2007 (in Lenny). The standard
has another version number and is non-free (copyright ISO, no
redistribution allowed) so is not included in Debian; and the standard
is not software, it is only a document.

That's the draft of the standard (a document), not an implementation
(software).
