Several reasons: 
1. It's kind of systematic to make all simple (i.e. no scalar+vector) math
functions as elemental.
2. Others compilers (g95,Intel) do so.
3. The draft F2008 standard contains elemental ERF,ERFC as well as Bessel
functions (though with slightly different naming). 

But you're right, there is no standard enforcing this. I just thought that
perhaps this is an unintentional ommitment. I'll change this to enhancement if
this is possible.
