Comment 1. 
Category: Editorial change/non-normative contribution
Committee Draft subsection: 6.3.2.3

Title: Adjust wording concerning qualifiers on structure members

Detailed description:

6.3.2.3p3 reads, in part:

    If the first expression has qualified type, the result has the
    so-qualified version of the type of the designated member.

This should read:

    The result has all the qualifiers of the first expression and those
    of the designated member.

Also add an example:

    In:
        struct s { int i; const int ci; };
        struct s s;
        const struct s cs;
        volatile struct s vs;

    the various members have the types:

        s.i       int
        s.ci      const int
        cs.i      const int
        cs.ci     const int
        vs.i      volatile int
        vs.ci     volatile const int
