Indeed they do, but I distinctly remember discussions involving current
implementations of <varargs.h> that include unbalanced braces in
va_start and va_end, and I thought the intent was to allow that kind of
implementation.  I think this is deserving of a formal request for
interpretation.  And, while you're at it, you ought to ask about whether
the intent was to require the va_list to be a local variable or not as
Norman Diamond pointed out.
