Re: [BH] Comments on draft-ietf-geopriv-reqs-03

Hi James -

All adopted OpenGIS specifications are publicly available and royalty free.
They may be found at www.opengis.org/ogcSpecs.htm . Then go to either
"OpenGIS® Implementation Specifications" or "Access approved schemas" to
actually download a given OpenGIS specification. Look for GML 3 related
links.

Cheers

Carl
