Terminal: DEC STD graphics

The Question is:

While reading some Digital product information on
the Internet, I stumbled across a notation:
     Sixel   DEC STD 070-9 Level 1
(found in DECfax info)
I'm interested in DEC graphics and wondered if
Digital publishes protocol information for
REGIS, Sixels, etc.  I've seen PPL2/PPL3 documentation
for printers, but are the DEC standards written up
in a special, protocol-only, non-product-specific form?

The Answer is:

   "DEC STD" documents are not generally made available outside Digital.
   The ReGIS and SIXEL protocols can typically be derived using the
   VT terminal programming manuals, and these documents are available.
