No apology needed.  I know you strive to be accurate and figured it
was just an oversight.  I posted the comment mostly for the benefit
of other people so they wouldn't be confused.  Also I thought it was
amusing that the accidental jumble referred to another standard that
was out in left field (perhaps even literally :).

Actually I think that is ISO/IEC 60559.  That is, in N3220, IIANM;
or were you referring to some other document?  Which version of the
C standard is the latest ratified version?  I don't try to keep up
with the latest draft.  Incidentally, note that it was IEC 60559
(without the ISO) in C99 (the preceding citations from memory only).

As it happens I was working on something recently that uses the
(optionally) pre-defined macro name __STDC_IEC_559__, so I was
sensitized to that.
