Hmm you must've missed section 1.1 :) The entire document is aligned with ISO/IEC 9899: 19999. There is no requirement that lex generates code that is accepted by c89. But of course this has no bearing on whether a particular implementation chooses to be backwards compatible or not. -- Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 is out!
