BTW, the Scott's sight heavily mentions ISO 7185, you can also find 
copies of ISO 10206 (Extended Pascal) there as well if you dig around. 
I'm not sure which one you really want.

The Extended Pascal standard was written as an evolution to the 
"classic" Pascal standard.  The fact that ISO 7185 still even exists as 
a standard was more of a political move than a technical one.

Personally, I wanted ISO 10206 to be called Pascal, not Extended Pascal. 
and to remove ISO 7185. We (well some of us) wanted to have "levels" in 
the new standard such that compilers that conformed to the old standard 
could fit into the new standard.  Others found that too confusing and 
eventually went with multiple standards (which I find counter)
