Far too late.  The ANSI C standard has already been finalized, ratified,
and published.  Incidentally, you don't get to vote on such things unless
you're a member of the relevant committee (which is open to anyone, although
there are fees involved).

>Does anybody know what the standard says about nested comments?

The standard, like all definitions of C since the beginning, says quite
explicitly that comments do not nest.
