STL is stanard.  Part of the ISO/IEC 14882-1998 one (or ISO C++ for
short).  The problem is nobody seems to care too much for full
compliance - new features sell, not a good implementation of the old
ones :-(

Yes and no.  However, they are the simplest to fix because the
implementation has hardly changed in the past five years (except for a
few hardly ever used functions).  For gcc it is just renaming a few
include files (well, creating a include file with the right name taht
includes the one with the wrong name).
