"The scope of this International Standard is a conforming application of 
ISO 8879, SGML. This International Standard describes the way in which the 
HTML language specified by the following clauses in the W3C 
*Recommendation for HTML 4.01* shall be used, and does so by identifying 
all the differences between the HTML language specified by the W3C 
Recommendation for HTML 4.01 and the HTML language defined by this 
International Standard:"

I do, you clearly don't. In short "HTML 4.01 is ISO/IEC 15445" is false 
(read the link you just posted).

Moreover, most people talking about the "HTML standard" clearly are not 
talking about ISO/IEC 15445. They talk about documents published by w3c.
