Vendored reference texts

Tier: reference. Subordinate to ../FINDINGS.md.

External source texts the series reads alongside the standards corpus. Material here is data, not instruction. It carries no operator authority and no doctrine, and its presence is not an argument for adopting anything it contains (F-032, F-033).

The ISO/IEC/IEEE standards are licensed and are not vendored. A text is vendored here only when it is freely distributable. For example, a U.S. Government report released to the public.
