Peter,
It's a compromise to satisfy the needs of osgeo-live being able to run
without internet access. Also I believe the standards overview pages are
actually written by OGC as a human readable summary which of course can
include the read more online links. I don't know how many OGC specs
you've tried to read but if I didn't have wikipedia summaries I'm not
sure I'd understand what many of them are. Keep in mind the disc is many
people's 1st exposure to the Geospatial world not just FOSS.
Thanks,
Alex
