Out of curiosity, I browsed in dictionaries about pitch standards.
Apparently there was once a recognized and formal definition which took
temperature into account. That is, "a" was a different frequency in
cold venues than in warm venues. In those days, many theaters were not
heated and hence the flexible standard.
