I agree with you.  However, if someone tries to look up the rules in
the section on assignment compatibility, they will not find a reference
to this text.  They will just find a reference claiming that the
implicit casting rules are in 6.24.  As you have pointed out in another
email exchange, those rules don't seem to be there.  That can result in
the reader jumping to their own conclusions.

Because I agree with you, it must fall to someone who came to a different
interpretation to explain how they came to it.
