Another source of documentation is the 6-volume McGraw-Hill
encyclopedia of Open Systems Standards (my title may not be exact).
It's not as complete as the officially-sanctioned Omnicom
publications, and of course there is no update subscription service
and all, but I believe almost everything you'd need for a non-toy
implementation is there.  The difference in cost between Omnicom and
McGraw-Hill is roughly an order of magnitude.  Current edition of the
McGraw-Hill volumes includes ISO/CCITT (and other) standards as of
1988.
