[topicmapmail] Guide to the Standard (needed)

Not as extension; together with XTM 2.0 it replaces ISO 13250:2003.  
(You should not take the date 2002-05-19 as the date of publication;  
that's when the PDF you see was prepared, but ISO actually published  
the standard in 2003.)

Also, it has actually been published. See

CSNUMBER=40017&ICS1=35&ICS2=240&ICS3=30

I'm not sure what you wonder at. :) Please explain, and I'll do my  
best to answer.
