In 2024 it's 30 years since X3J13 approved ANSI Common Lisp in 1994.
But when in the year? Is it known in which month or day was the
standard formally approved?
I searched a bit but there doesn’t seem to be much metadata online.

There was a blog post curated on planet.lisp.org a few years ago
"Max-Gerd Retzlaff: On the different versions of the ANSI Common Lisp
Standard X3.226-1994" with informationa and links, it's still up.
https://blog.matroid.org/display/79
quoting from that: "There has never been a "revision" of the standard
and that means there was never a change to the standard since first
approval of the standard on December 8, 1994 that was considered
"substantive"."
The X3ji3 existed way before that. i've seen citations like this:
DG Bobrow, L DeMichiel, RP Gabriel, G Kiczales, D Moon, and D
Keene. Clos specification; x3j13 document 88-002r. ACM-SIGPLAN Not, 23,
1988.
Maybe December 8 1994 may be suffice to compute the yahrzeits.

Thanks Madhu and Stefan, this is what I was interested in.

Is that the one with all the cruft to deal with filespec syntax on long-

obsolete OSes like VMS?
They could clean up and simplify the spec so much by simply dropping all
that legacy baggage.
