I don't see any specification there at the language standard level of how this interacts with the type system, with sizeof (and C1X alignof and GNU typeof), with array-to-pointer decay, what the type compatibility rules are, what is a constraint violation and what is runtime undefined (regarding integer constant expression or non-i-c-e values being out of range or disagreeing within an expression, for example). Likewise regarding type conversions (implicit and otherwise). And regarding sequence point rules (use the terminology in C1X and C++0X in providing such a specification, please). -- Joseph S.
