our considerations will be of relevance, when we are preparing a new version of the standard. And then, a lot of things might have changed. And we cannot predict them at all. Starting with ISO and JTC1 rules. Discussing these currently here will pretty much lead to nothing concrete. Also, comparisons to other working groups are pretty difficult, since we have stakeholders that have not adopted the standard in so many areas within 31 years. This is not the case in e.g. WG14.
For the moment, we have very concrete work to do that affect programmers in a much stronger way than to this one aspect you seem more interested in.
1st syntax-conformity
2nd built-in conformity
3rd the Prolog prologue
and much more.
In all of these areas it is absolutely vital to have concrete implementations that can be compared to each other and to the specifications rigorously. Just producing documents without concrete implementations isn't useful.
