0001873: ISO editors Issue 8 comment 114

Description

In their comment 114 on Issue 8 the ISO editors requested that where we mention earlier versions of the standard, we specify which versions. The Austin Group's response was that a change would be considered for the next TC.

My search for "earlier version" also turned up a few uses that aren't related to versions of the standard but I thought worth changing.

Desired Action
