It should be remembered that ISO administers a much
larger set of standards for many domains of technology than
the W3C. While we are focused on web tech here, that
is just a small piece of the technical world. ISO has to
deal even handedly and fairly with all of these domains
but when given a chance, tries to accommodate existing
practice. VRML insisted on free specs and ISO was
happy to oblige.

Apparently no longer true:
http://www.vrml.org/fs_specifications.htm
1. The first link is the ISO standard specification (International Standard
ISO/IEC 14772-1:1997)
2. The second link describes task groups working on updates to the
specification, interfaces and community and open source code (SDK and test
suites).
