Please note the above.

This section in the documentation is about language standards and
reference to those standards. hsafoundation.com literally has been
dead for a while, and there is not (evident) other location where
the standard appears vailable.
Also, wasn't the latest version 1.0.3 whereas our doc snippet still
referred to 1.0.1.

A simple revert does not appear appropriate, but if you have a strong
preference and see a benefit for our users, we surely can put something
back in again.
In that case, should the version updated to 1.0.3? Apart from that
and the defunct web site, what are other changes compared to the status
pre commit 7e999bd84f47205dc44b0f2dc90b53b3c888ca48 ?
Can you propose some text / changes taking into account the deprecation
and related developments? Can be rough, and I'll take care of the patch.
Gerald
