Agreed, when viewed from the perspective of the compiler developer/purveyor such as yourself, the RM should be the guiding light. But from the perspective of the working programmer or the teacher of programmers, the way things work should prevail. You've got to use what's out there. Bjarne is a commanding influence, but I'll bet you will see his role diminish when ANSI gets hold of it. Ask Dennis Ritchie. Bjarne will not have the time to dominate X3J16, and the committee will …, well, you know committees.
