There is at least a draft proposal for a cross-compiler addendum to ANS Forth, at ftp://ftp.forth.com/pub/ANSForth. The actual proposed standard is in XCtext5.doc, and non-normative explanatory appendices in XCapp5.doc. There are also pdf forms. The '5' indicates that this is the 5th draft, following an extended public review period.

(NOTE: at this moment, 9:30 am Hawaii time on 6/23, that link isn't working. I'm trying to find out why and get it fixed. Meanwhile, if you really want the docs now, email me erather {at} forth {dot} com)

I'll take a look. I can wait.

The stuff has been moved, we're trying to get rid of ftp support. New links are:

http://www.forth.com/downloads/ANS/XCtext5.doc (normative text,
http://www.forth.com/downloads/ANS/XCtext5.pdf two formats)
http://www.forth.com/downloads/ANS/XCapp5.doc (explanatory appendices,
http://www.forth.com/downloads/ANS/XCapp5.pdf two formats)
http://www.forth.com/downloads/ANS/XCpaper.pdf (overview)

XCpaper.pdf is an overview of the concepts, and a good place to start.

Cheers,
Elizabeth
