There wouldn't be much point in specifying what names are reserved
unless the remaining names were unreserved.  I think the committee
felt that that implication was clear enough.

I also fail to see how an implementation could qualify as conforming
if it usurped unreserved names.  It certainly could NOT "accept any
strictly conforming program" as required in section 1.7.
