It's an ANSI standard so that makes updates much more painful than otherwise just "updating the spec".

That doesn't prevent Fortran, Ada, C, C++, even COBOL, to get new updates.

I wasn't aware that C and C++ standards are ANSI standards. Good for them then :). Sloppy CL.

They are more than that, ANSI is the US voice on ISO.
