yes. excellent example of a situation almost identical to mandating ISO standards. Should the Library of Congress nationalize the NPFA? I got my local library to buy a copy of the National Electrical Code. I can study it... but only at the Reference Desk at the library. There are some derived texts that are pretty good, that the library will let me have, so long as I renew the checkout, and nobody else wants it. Hmm.
