The official C99 documents were the original standard itself, plus three
Technical Corrigenda (TC) that describe various modifications to the
standard. The document you're referring to is 1256.pdf, which shows what
C99 would look like after applying TC1, TC2, and TC3. It's technically
not as official as those other documents, but it's free, and, far more
convenient to use, and has only two known defects: the typo in the date
that you mention, the fact that "The predefined macro
__STDC_MB_MIGHT_NEQ_WC__ should be in 6.10.8p2 (conditional macros)
rather than p1 (required macros)."
I strongly recommend using n1256.pdf INSTEAD OF the official C99 standard.

I gather that n1570.pdf is essentially identical to the current
standard, C2011.
