The Technical Committee voted to revise the ANS Forth standard with a
limited agenda:

        (a) Withdrawal of "obsolescent words"

        (b) Ratification of "clarifications"

        (c) Support for embedded and ROMable systems

        (d) Support for internationalisation and extended characters
            sets

        (e) Clarifications to the Standard, with the proviso that
            proposals will be considered under this item that clarify
            the language of the Standard to reflect the original intent
            of the TC, without making a substantive technical change. 

Note the (c) & (d) were requested by the ISO Fast Track process.  The
committee is not obligated to consider proposals falling outside this
agenda without first voting to extend it.  This requires a 2/3 vote of
the Committee.
