Speaking of which, (and I'm a bit dismayed that I hadn't thought to ask
sooner) when is ANSI going to finalize the standard?  I'm beginning to
worry about conforming, and I'd like to know when to start trusting the
available standardlets (i.e., when is it too late for them to be
changed easily?).

What are the scheduled date of publication, the expected date of
publication, the likely date of publication, and the likely date that
the thing will be obsolete?
