I think this is not quite correct (it's atypical for ISO to develop
standards on their own; and this doesn't seem to have happened here),
but I understand your point that you aren't in a position to acquire
distribution rights from ISO.

Based on the Wikipedia summary, PDF/A requires unconditional font
embedding, including standard Postscript fonts.  Isn't this a bit
cumbersome for the IETF, from a copyright point of view?
