Two hundred eighty-five dollars? For an electronic copy? Guess, I'll
be using the latest draft...

And what about the price for BS ISO/IEC 14882:2011? It is basically the
ISO/IEC 14882:2011 standard with a couple of pages with the BS logo slapped
at the beginning and at the end, and for that kind of added value they
charge $761. What a ripoff.

Have a look at the thread "Reasonably priced C11 standard?" on comp.std.c.

Costs a lot to make a standard and it's not exactly a popular novel.

Don't tell me ANSI actually does something to "make a standard". As I
understand the process, it's all done by members and sponsors, which,
after the Standard is published, don't actually see a penny from the
proceeds ANSI gets selling the right to download that PDF. And it would
be popular if it were priced like the previous edition, around $30...

How much did ISO, IEC, EN or any other international standards organization
spent making this standard?

I wonder who falls for that. I wouldn't buy an electronic
copy for $20. They would have to make it about $11 to make
it tempting.

Here http://open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2012/n3337.pdf you have
the first draft of the next standard which only has some editorial changes
with respect to the c++11 standard.

Do that. As far as I know

N3337.pdf [1] = ISO/IEC C++ 2011 + editorial fixes
