"What a mess..."
Ok, that's more a reflex than a thought :-)

I think we should define which subset of simple cases is required to work
a specify the rest as "implementationS defined/I_might_even_work" cases. 
Unless it can be established that the benefit is worth the trouble, 
stuff like "two statics with same name" "static bound to temporary"
should fall in the later category.
