Does anyone know if Common Lisp has a formal standard?

If so, then what is the name of the standard and which standards body was
responsible for creating it.


Thanks

Ashley

Not yet.  The Common Lisp standard, X3.226-199X, is currently in draft
proposal stage, undergoing public review.

The official announcement of the public review, and guidelines that we've
written for reviewers (including a comment template), are available by
anonymous FTP from ftp.think.com in the directory /public/think/lisp.  The
files are public-review.text and pr-guidelines.text.
