ISO standards continue to be hilarious. Take for example ISO 10303, which defines the STEP file format for CAD things.
It consists of 103 separate parts. You have to buy each one separately.
Part 1 is the introduction. Just the intro mind you, the bit that tells you what's in the rest of the parts. It is flagged as outdated since 1994, missing a large part of what modern CAD does with STEP, and costs $157.
