I can't see how you arrive at that conclusion. The grammar permits declarations with nothing but type specifiers, and the constraint (which is really a permission in the this case) permits these to consist of no type specifiers. Where do you find support for your view that there must be a storage class or type qualifier when here is no type specifier? -- Ben.
