As Tim pointed out, that interpretation is inconsistent with the use of
the singular verb - "referenced parts" is plural. There's a simple,
obvious singular thing that is the corresponding subject, and that's
"the ISO C standard".

As Keith pointed out, while this is linguistically correct, it's
probably not the intent. Virtually the entirety of section 6 of the C
standard is duplicated in the C++ standard, with modifications that in
many places make it incompatible with the the wording in the C standard,
making it questionable what it would mean for section 6 to be
incorporated by reference. The changed wording in C++2017 is almost
certainly what was intended all along.
