Sue, I think what Chee-Kai raises above does, indeed, prevent us from using 
the files.  I recall in our telephone conversations that it was your 
intuition that the documents were totally exploitable ... can you find any 
exemptions to the above clause that would allow us to work with these files?

The issue as I see it is that clause 2a) includes "information ... from the 
Site", unlike the ISO blanket permission for "information" and the 
constraints on "the complete document".

I do not have the time to do that in the final ZIP file, but I have taken 
the time to create the stylesheet and have tested it and run it with 
Draft-7 for anyone to use on any future version.

The package of files is at:

   http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/3739/codelist-external-20031003-1500z.zip

Whoever undertakes to do this step (once Sue or someone else gets back to 
us on it) should be able to change the invocation batch file to suit 
whatever file names are used in the final version.

If we cannot find permission to use these files, then would anyone know of 
XML sources for currency and transport?  The XML source for country codes 
is at

http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/index.html

and since we aren't using the *complete* standard document, we are allowed 
to use the XML file according to:

http://www.iso.org/iso/en/commcentre/pressreleases/2003/Ref871.html

I've tested the ISO XML file with the stylesheet in the code list package 
above, and it works just fine.  Now all we need are exploitable XML files 
of all the other code lists we need.

May I please leave this in someone else's hands now?  I would be pleased to 
revise the stylesheet if any changes are found to be necessary.

Thanks!
