Sounds like you can't put prototypes for any >new str* in string.h. It also sounds like I can't put a prototype for >__filbuf in stdio.h It also sounds like I can't define the symbol _H_STDIO to lock out multiple includes, since that would be defining an undocumented identifier. Clearly this isn't what the Committee meant. It appears that 4.1.2 should be slightly rephrased. Something on the order of "Each header declares and defines no identifiers except those listed in its associated section or the corresponding subsection of Future Library Directions, or the globally reserved identifiers."
