Don't get too wrapped up with these standards. When asked about them Stroustrup himself said they aren't a general C++ standard, but something very specific to the embedded & critical systems of fighter jets. I can't remember the exact talk, but it was from one his Going Native talks: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/GoingNative/GoingNative-2012/Keynote-Bjarne-Stroustrup-Cpp11-Style http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/GoingNative/GoingNative-2012... or http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/GoingNative/2013/Opening-Keynote-Bjarne-Stroustrup http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/GoingNative/2013/Opening-Key... (both are _well_ worth a watch if you like C++ or program in it)
