I vote 1) Yes. I was, at first, confused by Comment 2. I had assumed that the only storage that should be accessed via the information provided in a C descriptor is storage described by the C descriptor. I failed to find an explicit statement to that effect in the draft TS. Based on the response in N1941, I now assume that, except for the case prohibited by the new restriction given in the response, C code is free to access any storage via information provided in a C descriptor subject only to the restrictions imposed by the C99 standard.
