If I have this right (and Scott Bradner will probably correct me if
I'm wrong), the basic rules in RFC2026 section 7.1.1 recognize the reality
that some open standards are essential and unavoidable references which
are not available free of charge to the general public.

To be clear, the phrase "open standard" in that section doesn't
mean "free of charge". (Long essay on what it *does* mean elided.)

(IEEE 802 and numerous CCITT Recommendations were the original
problem cases, I think, and that was about hard copies, of course.)

Wherever possible we try to avoid dependency on such references, but
when you can't, there really isn't any choice.
