Steve,

Our solution was to release all external specs through our document
control system.  This gives us our own part number to reference.  We are
then locked into a rev of the external spec, say rev a of J-STD-001.
When rev b is available, we make sure we are meeting all the
requirements in it before we change our internal copy to rev b.  We are
not working to the latest revision of the external specs until we make
the change in our document control system.  Remember, ISO  requires you
to meet all the requirements of a spec and control it, internal or
external.  We decided to make all external specs that we wanted to say
we meet internal specs.  This also forces you to review all new
revisions for compliance before saying you meet all its changes.

Hope this helps.

Regards
