I don't believe there is one, but this is a well-known and published
international standard. Can't we reference the printed version?

What I was trying to say was that our printf is an implementation of
the C89 printf function, not the C99 or Single Unix printf; that's why
it has all the missing features you noticed - in fact it has none of
the C99 additions. Can't we describe it as a mostly complete C89
printf instead of a mostly incomplete C99 printf?
