Unfortunately, some standards only.

For insights into the politics of standards, I recommend Carl Malamud's 
"Exploring the Internet: A Technical Travelogue" (1992):

international standards documents published by the ITU and other 
international standards groups. After all, I write professional 
reference books for a living and these documents are my raw materials."
