There was a blog post curated on planet.lisp.org a few years ago
"Max-Gerd Retzlaff: On the different versions of the ANSI Common Lisp
Standard X3.226-1994" with informationa and links, it's still up.

https://blog.matroid.org/display/79

quoting from that: "There has never been a "revision" of the standard
and that means there was never a change to the standard since first
approval of the standard on December 8, 1994 that was considered
"substantive"."

The X3ji3 existed way before that. i've seen citations like this:

DG Bobrow, L DeMichiel, RP Gabriel, G Kiczales, D Moon, and D
Keene. Clos specification; x3j13 document 88-002r. ACM-SIGPLAN Not, 23,
1988.

Maybe December 8 1994 may be suffice to compute the yahrzeits.

Is that the one with all the cruft to deal with filespec syntax on long-
obsolete OSes like VMS?

They could clean up and simplify the spec so much by simply dropping all
that legacy baggage.

You really have no idea how this works, do you?
