Anyone know the story here? It has never been official, it was a coup by some people to circumvent the fascist ISO rules regarding the diffusion of the specification, using a clever lawyer hack. Like every hack, it may last or not. This morning, everything works, apparently.

Neither ISO nor the United States Government makes any warrantee as to the utility of this data for any purpose other than to present it in support of standards development. Potential implementers of this DIS are warned that it is being balloted in JTC1 and is subject to change at the end of the ballot period.
