> News from RubyKaigi2008—the Japanese Ruby conference held at Tsukuba from June 20 through 22—concerning the planned Ruby standardization, the Ruby 1.9 roadmap and a glimpse at upcoming features in future versions of Ruby.

“Matz plans to hand in the standard to the ISO (International  
Organization for Standardization), however, a concrete date has not yet  
been determined-only that it will “at least take a couple of years for  
standardization”.”

So this should make the spec issue easier.
