Basic answer: comp.std.c is for discussions about the C standard.
comp.lang.c is for discussions about the language defined by that standard.
To put that in more concrete terms: if you want to discuss how
designated initializers are used, go to comp.lang.c. If you want to
discuss changing the standard's specification for designated
initializers, go to comp.std.c

If you want to discuss a compiler that implements a language that looks
similar to C, but implements designated initializers in a way that
doesn't conform to the requirements of the C standard, and you don't
care whether the standard is ever changed to make that implementation
conforming, you should post in a forum specific to that implementation,
and not in either comp.lang.c or comp.std.c. However, as things
currently standard, a very large fraction of the messages posted here
discuss precisely such issues. Since it's an unmoderated newsgroup that
was created before there were such things as newsgroup charters, there's
not much that can be done about that.
