Presumably if you get your comments into X3 or Tom Plum this week,
flagged as an "unsatisfactory response" received on one of your
formal review comments, X3J11 will be obliged to consider them at
the meeting next week.  The plan is for this to be the last meeting
at which substantive changes to the draft proposed ANS will be made,
but nobody knows whether things will happen that way.  So long as
we keep making changes, publication of the C standard keeps getting
delayed.  A lot of people really want to get the standard out soon.
