Which spelling standard is the Standard supposed to use?

Undefined behavior may be expected when this International Standard omits any explicit definition of behavior or when a program uses an erroneous construct or erroneous data.

If no value is set in the launch policy, or a value is set that is neither specified in this International Standard or by the implementation, the behaviour is undefined.

I believe we use US spelling.

The project editor, who is an Englishman now living (and working)
in the US, will certainly appreciate a hint about inconsistencies
in this regard.

When I look through books on programming published in USA and see an example of the first program on C or C++ either like

printf( "Hello, World!" );

or like

printf( "Hello World!" );


without a comma between the words I always wonder is USA a country pf embracing illiteracy?:)
