Really?  How did that slip by?  I've seen nothing about this on the
SC22 mailing list (ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 Java Study Group, convened
by old-Ada-hand Bob Mathis)

It might be more correct to say that there is a _proposed_ Java
standard, though even that is stretching it a bit since Sun hasn't
even submitted the PAS for review.

Not only him; I've seen Java on a couple of "whatever happened
to... ?" and "where are they now?" lists of technology whose time
has come and gone.
