Proposed resolution (February, 2011) [SUPERSEDED]:

Change 9.1 [dcl.pre] paragraph 1 as follows:

simple-declaration:
attribute-specifier-seq_opt decl-specifier-seq_opt init-declarator-list_opt ;
attribute-specifier-seq decl-specifier-seq init-declarator-list ;

...The optional attribute-specifier-seq in a simple-declaration appertains to each of the entities declared by the declarators; it shall not appear if the optional of the init-declarator-list is omitted...
