i'd like to heartily second the idea of a "subscription-service" for
the ISI J dictionary, and as many of the other documents that ISI
provide that undergo frequent (multiple times per year) significant
update.  Documentation "update" are standard features in other kinds
of software systems (OSs, languages, utilities, etc.), and would
certainly be well worth the price of a "documentation maintenance
contract", if you will...
