Jim,
to a degree you are correct but I don't see where they make any
serious money from adaptation of their standards. The moneys derived from
selling the standards to people who might develop output software and then a
limited number of designers who have to know what the standard says, at best
only covers their expenses. Remember somebody had to write the standard and
meet with the other authors, sleep , eat and drink while doing so.
