Funny, I did the same thing for Python, just for comparison 
<http://docs.python.org/py3k/reference/>. The figure I came up with for that 
Language Reference was 92 pages. To be fair, I suppose you should include 
the first 6 chapters of rhe Library Reference 
<http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/>, which is another 69 pages, for a 
total of 161.

For comparison, I have a couple of draft C99 specs floating around. They 
total 550 pages, until you realize most of that is section 7, the standard 
library. Leave that out, and you end up with 163 pages.
