I had a brief look at the ISO web site, and I gleaned the following
information (possibly slightly wrong, they don't really give a
detailed overview):
- ISO standards can have corrigenda and amendments, see, e.g.,
http://www.iso.org/iso/en/CatalogueDetailPage.CatalogueDetail?CSNUMBER=29237
Which I presume means the original text doesn't change ;-)
- ISO standards go through a fun & complex life cycle shown at
http://www.iso.org/iso/en/widepages/stagetable.html
which includes the option to withdraw a standard
- ISO standards are expected to be periodically revised, see
http://www.iso.org/iso/en/stdsdevelopment/whowhenhow/how.html
I assume this follows the examples I'm familiar with (ISO C90 -> ISO
C99, and several other similar programming language examples), i.e.,
results in a new standard, but the link doesn't actually say...
