[SystemSafety] Making Standards available to Standards Committees

There is only a problem if you put up with bureaucratic capture
that is the norm of all standards' organizations.

The C++ committee simply puts their drafts on Github:
https://github.com/cplusplus/draft
The only public C standard source I am aware of:
http://www.coding-guidelines.com/c89.tgz

The C committee makes available a draft that is not
the ISO document:
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1548.pdf

And the Indians take the sensible approach and make many
standards available for free download:
https://law.resource.org/pub/in/bis/

I have zero sympathy for people who rant about the situation and
don't try to solve it.
