Sure, we can have all kinds of perverse architectures.  This
particular case seems to be some disconnect between hardware design
and instruction set on the transition from word-addressed to
byte-addressed machines.  

That part has been sorted out by now, or at least I would hope so.  If
you make a word-addressed machine these days, it's because you don't
want to process characters, and accept that you use one character per
word for the few cases where you need to process characters (at least
if you are sane).

But the C standard still wants to be future-proof for the time when
such misdesigns are coming back.

I am sure that this has not changed.

Hardware designers make hard-to-program nonsense all the time, e.g.,
the Cell architecture or weak memory consistency models; they also
make special-purpose architectural features like X and Y address
spaces and the accumulators in DSPs.  Has retro-proofing the C
standard by not standardizing common-practice features helped with any
of that?  No.
