The linked discussion on the memory model is particularly interesting to me as it covers a number of issues and ambiguities with the current specification for strict aliasing and what kind of accesses should/shouldn't be allowed, including for example the problem that there's no way to obtain untyped space on the stack (Q75).

Since this as a whole is among the least consistently implemented and (arguably based on the number of questions it generates) least well understood aspects of the standard it's nice to see some authoritative efforts to clarify the intended behaviors.
