Mr. Kremer, you start your reply with "No."  So you think that correct
execution of a switch statement constitutes abnormal entry to the block.
I conjecture that very few will agree with you.

Otherwise, it seems that both posters are correct.  Executing a switch
statement is both normal entry and a jump to a label.  The standard is
self-contradictory.
