Oops, John pointed out that I forgot to include the Y-word in my email.
 
So to clarify:  I vote Yes on the latest draft, with the friendly
amendment below.

Looks better, thanks!
 
One more minor friendly amendment:  Shalom mentioned when I was revising
1995 that 'loop iterator variable' is not the correct term, and 'loop
control variable' is better.

OK, I'll rephrase it and post a new version.

Upon reading this, I'm a little worried about the phrasing:

The action block of an assert statement shall not refer to an automatic
variable declared outside of the action block. An automatic loop
iterator variable shall be treated like a constant in the action block
of the assert statement that is within a for or foreach loop (see
16.14.5).

I'm not sure it's clear to a reader that the second sentence is making
an exception to the first sentence, rather than adding additional info--
someone could misinterpret the first sentence as definitive proof that
loop iterators cannot be referenced at all, and stop there.   I would
reprhase to mention in the first sentence that an exception is coming:

The action block of an assert statement shall not refer to an automatic
variable, other than a loop control variable, declared outside of the
action block. An automatic loop control variable shall be treated like a
constant in the action block of the assert statement that is within a
for or foreach loop (see 16.14.5).

 

Since the proposal essentially consists of several instances of this
sentence, this means I need to vote no on the current version.
