The OpenMP mailing list archive is private to subscribers, but here's 
the pertinent part for those who aren't on that list. From the October 
2004 newsletter:

* The merge of OpenMP Fortran, C, and C++ specifications is progressing

A "final draft" is now being reviewed by the committee members. There
are still discussions on how much is flushed when a lock routine is
called, and on private variables in Fortran statement functions.
The ARB considers a public review period desirable after the final
internal review, as it promotes inclusiveness and openness.

For now, I'm proceeding with the 2.0 specification, since I doubt the 
proposed changes will invalidate too much existing code.
