I've been taking particular note of this as I've been trying to find out
if it just applies to country codes or (for example) it applies to ISO
8879 and 9573 entity sets for characters in SGML/XML. I'd agreed to edit
a proposed update of ISO/IEC 9573 based on work on the MathML entity
sets, as described here
http://www.w3.org/2003/entities/
but if these things are not going to be free I don't want to do them at
all...
