They haven't been implemented in glibc because they aren't standardized.
Reserving the names for future use does not actually define their 
intended behavior.   Moreover, you are not really supposed to use those 
identifiers in libraries until they *are* defined (which, at this rate, 
will not happen for many years, if ever).
