I have now released the Standard document with the changes from the Vienna  
meeting.  It can be downloaded from the normal place:

I hope that you have taken care to preserve the ANS tradition
of keeping Forth as primitive and as low-level as possible.
After all, toilet-flushers have to be programmed in some language.

Nice. Besides spring cleaning, it standardizes a lot of "roll your own" practices like multi-byte strings, escaped strings, structures, etc. Good to see Forth evolving.

This may sound like a little thing, but reading through the document I
found the name of the word in a definition to be a little hard to pick
out.  Maybe "hard" is not the right word, but I would have thought
that the name of the word, more than anything else in the definition,
would be designed to stand out.

After all, the word name is most likely the one thing you are looking
for when scanning the document.  This is exactly when you would want
the name to stand out from the rest of the definition.  I don't recall
seeing an issue with that in previous editions of the Forth standard.
Looking at a copy I see the word name looks bold face.

Is there a reason this was changed?  Wouldn't it be an easier to use
document if the name of the word being defined was bold?

Thank you, Peter.

I note in section 1.3.2 it says the annex on differences shows the
differences between this standard an Forth 83. Will it be updated show
the differences between ANS and 200x?

Yes.

Now all we need is for somebody to update the annex.
