Well, the ISO C standard is not public either, and we do try to follow it.
There at copies of working drafts of ISO 14652 and ISO 30112 available:
http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG20/docs/n972-14652ft.pdf
http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC35/WG5/docs/30112d10.pdf
Both specs have explicit reference to glibc, and some specific cooperation with
glibc.

As I wrote, this information is what is commonly sought for eg. flights and
hotels.
What do you have in mind of improvements?
