Speaking of which, could someone tell me who Canada's standards body and rep to the ISO is (and if that's where I've gotta go to get my hands on X.509 and all those other X.docs.). Any addresses would be helpful too.

Try www.itu.org (X. series docs come from the ITU, not ISO. Same text though).

While the International Triathlon Union may be a standards body in it's own field, it has shockingly little influence on the X series of communications standards. You might try the International Telecommunications Union, at www.itu.ch.

I don't think v3 has been balloted yet - that gives you a chance to explore one of the more amusing twists of OSI standardisation- you can get copies for free of most drafts from the editor right up until it gets standardised. Silly, isn't it.

Haven't located it yet.
