This was previously reported.

Anyway, that's a problem only in the printed (combined) version, and not in
the actual standard. It's documented in AI05-0005-1, and will be fixed if
and when there is an updated printed version. (Note that the on-line
versions track the printed ones in order to avoid confusion.)
