Since Annex E is only intended for homogeneous partitions (that is, all partitions running on the same processor and target OS), it doesn't make sense to "mix up ARM and Intel partitions". Specifically, see paragraph 6 in the introduction to Annex E. Since this is a "permission", an implementation could try to support a mixed system, but it would only work if all targets use the same mapping of object representations (that is, size of integers, mapping of components, and so on). That's likely to be pretty limiting on the implementation for each target. . Randy.
