Is there a complete/comprehensive/authoritative
description or listing somewhere of the
differences/changes/clarifications
between CLtL2 and ANSI Common Lisp?

A [presumably relatively short] document x such that
CLtL2 + x
  would be equivalent to
  would be an alternative to
  would make it unnecessary to have or to check
either the physical book ANSI Common Lisp
or the HyperSpec.

Is there a solution for x other than
x=ANSI-CL or x=HyperSpec ?

I don't know how complete/comprehensive/authoritive the following is but
it will at least get you started:

Some things have been added, some have been removed, and some have changed since its publication. Enough records were kept such that someone could reconstruct precisely what, but it was beyond the scope of our work (and our available resources) to produce a summary. Sorry about that. But even if nothing had changed, the presentation style of the standard is very different than in Steele's books, making many things explicit that you previously had to dig around for. It may be worth getting a copy just for that.
