The very issue you discussed arose at an X3J11 meeting, in off-line discussion with Jervis, myself, and someone else (as I recall). My dim recollection is that we decided EOF didn't have to be distinct if sizeof(int)==sizeof(char), and so far as we could tell the latter is allowed. This agrees with your conclusions. I would rather construe the description of EOF as requiring that it be distinct, for the obvious reasons. Yet another matter for the "interpretations" phase?
