  Is there a description of the ISO/IEC 14519 socket binding available
somewhere on the web?  (I live in Silicon Valley, where the technical
bookstore went out of business.)
  One problem with "a" standard package is that different people have
different needs.  That's most obvious with a sort package where different
algorithms have different characteristics, but it also applies to the
convenience/flexibility tradeoff in something like sockets.
