[STDS-754] status of official release of revised IEEE-754

The official IEEE publication date was 29 August 2008 (and that is
date on the copyright page, etc.). So, as of then (as I understand
it), 754-2008 is IEEE 754 (the active version) and 754-1985 is no
longer an IEEE standard.
I thought IEEE 754-1985 officially expired after 20 years, so that we
have been *without* an official standard for almost three years. (We
were supposed to have finished 754R before 754 expired...)

P.S. The parenthetical "We" above is rhetorical, as I only joined the
Working Group in December 2005 -- not that this made a difference.
