If the standard-making bodies consent, it would be a service to the
community to post it, **in little dribs and drabs**, to an applicable
source group.
If the copyright allows copying "not made for direct commercial
advantage" (aka the standard ACM copyright statement), it is
trivially postable.
I might also argue that that posting the standard may be lawful
in states/provinces where the law allows copies to be made for legitimate
research and academic purposes. (And therefore this is cross-posted
to misc.legal for comment).
