I'll modify my suggestion.  Any translation unit that violates a
syntax rule or constraint must be rejected unless the violation
is apart of a documented extension.  (I'm certain there's a better
way to word that.)

And of course compilers could have non-conforming modes in which
they accept anything they like.

I do not expect C to adopt such a rule.  It's merely what I would
have preferred.
