In my understanding it would be hard to make the case that Rust actually has more undefined behavior than C -- most kinds of undefined behavior in C have been carefully avoided in Rust, although, yes, there is no piece of paper ratified by a bunch of national technology institutes that describes Rust.

While the rust community might not believe their language needs a specification, some of their would-be customers have business requirements surrounding a specification that cannot be fulfilled with a reference.

edit: clarity

A standard or a specification? Anyway, hopefully Ferrocene will be able to provide those folks what they need.

Thank you for catching this mistake on my part, fixed.
Can you explain what the difference is between a standard and a reference?
