Oof, there are numerous software-related IEEE Standards, and I think you can 
get 'em all on CD for $79 (slightly more for print).  I dunno but you might 
have to enroll (for additional $$) in an IEEE membership, or get your 
standard waving colleagues to download them for them for you on their IEEE 
account.  Anyway, see:

A thread on techwr-l last year mentioned that a draft of Std 1063 (IEEE 
Standard for Software User Documentation) had once been available on the web.  

I've seen a copy of Standard # 830 (Software Requirements) online too, but 
when I checked just now, I found this in its stead:

http://hyper.vcsun.org/HyperNews/rlingard/get/cs380f2002/teamc/4/1.html

Indeed.  But if you have a need and no budget, you still might find some 
drafts ghosting along on more placid backwaters of the web.  

Don't overlook the IEEE standards-related articles and summaries on web pages. 
An intro like this one might cover enough of the methodology concepts to 
sneak you by:

Have fun :-)
