Michael, These standards are copyrighted, and ANSI.org is very clear about the electronic copies being for personal use only, not to be shared. Considering that, previously, you could not buy ISO C for less than $300, having a standards organization that sees the light is a good thing, and, I suggest that we all respect that. That is, you will not (should not) find anyone who'll offer to share electronic copies of the standard. I believe that the answer to your POSIX question is "none". I don't think POSIX deals with the wchar_t issue at all (someone correct me if I'm wrong.)
