I think you convinced me of almost all points. However, I'd dispute this:

I think it's common to talk about C89 as being “ANSI C”. At least
Wikipedia says so: “Historically, the names [ANSI C, ISO C, and Standard
C] referred specifically to the original and best-supported version of
the standard (known as C89 or C90).”

Pedantically, sure, other ISO standards for C have been adopted by ANSI,
but I don't think people actually understand the term like that. I'm
probably wrong, though.

Anyway, this is all irrelevant and the votes probably don't stand.
