I'd say that two clarifications are needed.  First, since the original
poster apparently wasn't aware of the book, that it is the "Annotated
ANSI C Standard", with annotations by Herbert Schildt, published by
Osborne/McGraw-Hill, ISBN 0-07-881952-0.

And second, that in addition to having incorrect or useless annotations
(see Clive Feather's review under <http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/>), that
the book does not include the standard's introduction.  This is correct
in a sense, since the introduction is not part of the standard -- *but*
the introduction is also the place where it's stated that the examples
and footnotes, which look like part of the standard and which are included
in the book, are in fact *also* not part of it.

        The precedence don't enter into it -- it's stone undefined.
        This expression makes no sense.  It has ceased to be.  It's
        expired and gone, though sadly not forgotten.  This is a latent
        expression.  Bereft of meaning, it should rest in peace.  If
        people didn't keep nailing it into these discussions, it would be
        pushing up the daisies.  It's rung down the curtain and joined
        the choir ineffable.  This is not an ex-pression.
