John,

Thanks so much for the wealth of information.  There is nothing like getting
info from the source.  Have I summarized the ISO documents in the list below
correctly from your email?  Can you fill in any of the question marks?

Combined with the reference sent by Adrian Hooke, an interesting timeline
emerges.  

The January 1978 ANSI doc shows a 4 layer model and presumably by June 1979
N227 has arrived at the familiar 7 layer model.  

It would be interesting to see the evolution in thinking and
"reorganization" during that period that arrived at the 7 layer model.

Jake, can you add the documents below to your search?

Can anyone else add any other documents or comments to the timeline?
