Apparently there is an ISO standard. I couldn't dig up a date on it, but it
appears to have occurred significantly after the original design of the
language. That is fairly similar to the situation with K&R C vs. ISO C. But
your point is quite valid.
Niggles about the exact dates notwithstanding, it is fairly clear that
Modula-2 does *not* postdate Ada. I think the best way to think of them is as
"sister" languages.
