That would be nice (if piratebay would still be the nice place for
such things, overall "publicly findable from DHT" would be
sufficient). But all the docs I've seen have a watermark, which makes
it ... troublesome ... for anyone who tried that.

Yet I find the generic ISO specs quite useless, unless you are arguing
with someone, which interpretation is "more correct" than another one.
Because the only reason to be ISO-compliant on higher levels
(non-electrical) is interoperability (replaceable host side software
or replaceable smart card) and the only common trait I've seen has
been "lowest common denominator": like web apps (almost) all speak TCP
under HTTP/JSON/SOAP/WHATNOT but you can't even swap a login button of
one provider with a button from another provider (even if they all
speak "OAUTH-ish" stuff).
