Hi Philip,

oops, our mails crossed.

It does:

  section 12.1, clause 8

> or that they override each other,

True, so they *do not* override each other.

> so the behavior when they are used together is simply undefined
> by the standard...

Not true, section 12.2, guideline 11.

> which makes any behavior, including using the last, legal.

No, but as i said, i doubt that now is the right time to fix it.

Yours,
  Ingo
