IEEE requires the standards be re-affirmed and re-published every several years (I think it's five years), and the last time, there simply was no longer enough industry interest to warrant republishing the standard (or so I'm informed). So the last one published was IEEE Std 1275-1994, and it no longer has the status of an active standard.
It would be good if openbios participants revived the standard, but it takes a lot of effort.
Can you give some pointers? There are many good inputs for a revised standard out there that need to be bundled for more momentum.
I know the IBM guys are doing their standards via POWER DOT ORG by now.
