I think the first problem is that this is an over-simplified description
of what the semantics of the "const" type qualifier.

Perhaps Lattice's interpretation was a consequence of the admittedly
confusing specification for type qualifiers in earlier drafts of the
standard.

Certainly a non-volatile const object can be allocated to ROM.
