An object declared volatile is allowed to change at any time,
with no explicit program actions.  That's why this footnote
is there.

More significantly, this paragraph (and indeed almost all of the
Standard) is concerned only with what an implementation may do (or
not do).  The consequences of accessing a volatile are outside the
control of, and even the knowledge of, the implementation.  If
there is text in the Standard that is meant to impose limitations
outside of the domain of just implementations, that distinction
would have to be made apparent in the text.  I just don't know of
any such cases (or at least I can't remember any).
