Robb Nebbe is exactly right, it is a tough call to decide between upwards
compatible semantics, and "doing things right". Of course you also have to
be sure you understand what right is :-)
THe standard certainly contains the results of some delicate discussions in
this area. What is remarkable I think is that in pretty much every case, the
ISO group was able to reach a consensus on the right way to go. Doesn't mean
we made the right decision in every case, but it is remarkable how few
contentious issues there were once things settled down to final decisions.
