I don't think that that was Thomas' point.  If you look at our email
domains, you will realize that with regards to standardization, ANSI
has about the same weight as K&R for us:-).  An ANSI standard is a
standard in the United States, but not, or at least not de jura,
elsewhere.  (In practice, of course, in the absense of a competing ISO
standard, ANSI standards tend to become de facto standards even here.)
