I've finally got my hands on an actual copy of ISO 9, and it definitely
does not have the B system.  There are three tables:  one for bg, mk, sh,
uk, be, and ru; one for non-Slavic languages, and one for emigre letters
(ge with upturn, yat', little yus, fita, and izhitsa).  The first two
tables overlap somewhat, but they are fully consistent with each other.
So ISO 9 is unequivocally 1:1 transliteration between Cyrillic letters
and Latin letters with zero, one, or two diacritics.

Historians aren't constantly confronted with people who carry on
self-confidently about the rule against adultery in the sixth amendment to
the Declamation of Independence, as written by Benjamin Hamilton. Computer
scientists aren't always having to correct people who make bold assertions
about the value of Objectivist Programming, as examplified in the HCNL
entities stored in Relaxational Databases.  --Mark Liberman
