John,

You said, "You will in due course have to pay each time you want to read
a document."


Doubtful if this will happen.  If UL goes into the pay-per-view
business, they will no longer be a not-for-profit.  Besides, they would
simply alienate their customers and there are always plenty of other
NRTLs out there with harmonized standards.

No, 'per use'. You will in due course have to pay each time you want to
read a document. (;-) At that point, we really WILL kill all the
lawyers!

The good news is that nothing is compulsory.
