No I wasn't referring to the SO trolls. They do recommend the site :)

I fear you have that upside down: what was long known as HP STL, then SGI STL
_became_ the standard STL, in fact now called C++ Std Library or something.

So this /is/ actually the reference implementation AFAIK. Not the greatest
site though.

And hey, if the cplusplus.com reference is good enough for Romain who am I to 
argue.

I surely know hos to find my ways there. The site gives information about complexity of operations, etc... I like it.

Although at first I also learned many tricks from Meyers' Effective STL.
