Copyright is never a problem in such situations. You cannot copyright
facts...only form. So the actual information and structure is free of
copyright.

The standard itself is copyrighted and cannot be distributed. But the
content of the standard is fair game. In fact if one had a copy and simply
published the meat in plain text there is likely no recourse. I would of
course do it anonymously. The mere fact that it is legal will not keep you
from being sued.
