- From what I have heard, there almost were two C standards, one ANSI,
- and one, different, ISO. It was only a remark made in passing in the
- ANSI committee that made the committee aware that the standard they
- were about to pass would not be adapted `as is' by ANSI. Adding the
- internationalization aspects that ISO required probably cost ANSI
- about a year, but it did avoid two divergent standards.
-
- The current C++ standardization effort, and I imagine, the next
- version of the C standard, are being developed as a joint effort from
- the beginning, in order to avoid this kind of problem.
