Dunno.

Possibly.

Certainly, if it is wrong.

By the way, this is the kind of thing which *can* be fixed in
the standard, if shown to be problematical.

This deserves some research by people who know something about

then, if a change is in order, a documented proposal explaining
the problem and the suggested fix could be submitted to the
UTC for consideration.
