ANSI CL is the standard for Common Lisp. That's no "US-centrism" since
the standard was mostly made by US organizations, researchers and companies.

An ISO CL will probably not appear: ISO now has published a standard
called ISO/IEC 13816 "Programming language ISLISP - Langage de programmation
ISLISP", and nobody intends to submit ANSI CL for acceptance as an ISO
standard.
