The intention by the joint work is to avoid duplication of work, and also to possibly have just one set of standards in the field. One added benefit is to gather all experts in the field for the work and thus get the optimum level of expertise focused to work on a common standard. One problem with this is that the common standard will need to be adopted by each of the standardization pocedures of the 3 groups involved, but it is hopet that this will be a solvable issue. One problem I can see here for WG14 is that the SUS incorporates the C standard and have some enhancements, instead of referencing it normatively. I would like WG14's opininon on what should be done here.
All sizes sould be explicit.
Previously some 32-bit implicit assumptions had crept into the standard. End of document.
