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.

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.
