Well, Aonix was describing a compiler, not a computing system.
If the RM applies to compilers rather than computing systems,
_it_ should provide the wording that excludes drift beyond the
control of compilers.
On the other hand, some of the responses in this group have
indicated that the intentional style of the RM is terse. If
so, Aonix would seem to be fully justified in responding in
the same style.
