The ANSI C++ committee (X3J16) has just recently been constituted, and is
not expected to submit a first draft for review for at least a year,
probably more.

The base document for the standard is the Annotated C++ Reference Manual
by Margaret Ellis and Bjarne Stroustrup (derived from the AT&T C++ 2.1
reference manual).
