But at least for most of the ISO standards, some of the costs of the
standardisation work is funded by selling paper copies of the standard
document. That means no standard on the web, like we are used to,
For C++ the price is about $250 i think, and it will probably not be
much cheaper for a new Ada standard.

Probably some of the comitee members can give a better answer than 
me, which only knows that most other ISO/ANSI standards not is
given away for free.
