You can read http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/N2937.pdf, that is only a
draft but it would give you a fairly good grasp at the actual technical text
of the standard.
There is a lot of material in the ISO website actually; including I earlier
found drafts around year 1997 which could be used to get an idea of the
evolution of the standard, without having to schedule an interview with Dr.
Ksar.

Perhaps, I never saw such a thing however. What I saw was using P-xxxxxxxx
notation, where the first x hexadigit were in the 8-F range (or not); I do
not know if it is ISO-approved or -designed or whatever, though. I guess P
might stand for Private or Provisional, but they are definitively different
from PUA.
