I definitely don't know much (at all) about the Lisp standard, but the only information I could find which sounds like a standard is
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/f_dribbl.htm and there it says Either binds *standard-input* and *standard-output* or takes other appropriate action, so as to send a record of the input/output interaction to a file named by pathname. dribble is intended to create a readable record of an interactive session. This is vagues, but it says "takes appropriate action", which should be something.
