Rationale:
The standard makes an embarrassing beginner's mistake.
Date: 2010-10-21.18:28:33
Proposed resolution:
In [facet.num.get.virtuals], paragraph 7, add a row in the Length Modifier table to say that for double a length modifier l is to be used.
Date: 1999-07-20.00:00:00
The table in paragraph 7 for the length modifier does not list the length modifier l to be applied if the type is double. Thus, the standard asks the implementation to do undefined things when using scanf() (the missing length modifier for scanf() when scanning doubles is actually a problem I found quite often in production code, too).
