What year did FDDI become a standard?  I'm presenting some material to people
and none of the books I have that mention FDDI say when it became a standard.

Depends on what you mean.  FDDI isn't a single standard.  The first of
the set (MAC) was published by ANSI as a finished standard in 1987; PHY was
published in 1988, and PMD (multimode) in 1990.

SMT is still in draft status.
