| Did I miss something?

  Yes.  Standards are prescriptive.  You understand them, you adhere
  to them, /then/ have your own opinions.

| What is the current status of Common-Lisp standardization?

  Published.

| The most recent references to X3J13 date back to 1996, and most are
| ten years old...

  Is it not wonderful?  Nobody has randomly messed with the language
  to fit some misunderstandings or added cruft to fit some marketing
  scheme.  Imagine a programming language that is /not/ a weapon in
  someone else's marketing war, but is stable and has proven useful
  to actual /programmers/ over a whole decade!  Is it not amazing?
