It's been approved by X3J13, and has been working its way through the
bureaucracy of X3 and ANSI. There were some last-minute non-technical
changes that were being made during July (getting the Credits section
up-to-date), and the version with those changes was sent to X3 last
week. However, those changes weren't delaying the processing.
I'd expect to see the standard published by the end of the year.

thanks for the good news. small question: will the final text be available
electronically, or do the editorial changes you refer to above constitute
the entirety of the changes from dpANS3?

Microsoft is not the answer. Microsoft is the question. NO is the answer.

The changes have already been uploaded to parcftp.xerox.com. The
version that resulted from the second public review is in
pub/cl/dpANS3, and the revised chapter 0 that resulted from the credit
changes are in pub/cl/dpANS3R. I hope KMP doesn't get mad at me for
posting this -- I'm not sure whether he wanted to publicize them widely.
No changes to the technical content of the draft were made after the
second public review. There were some wording changes, some tables
were updated to be more complete or consistent with the text, and
things like this. pub/cl/dpANS3/Change-Summary.text describes them
briefly.
Note that the documents on parcftp are *not* the official standards.
Official ANSI standards must be purchased in hardcopy form from ANSI;
they do not currently permit electronic distribution.
