One more tidbit: ISO/IEC 9899:1990 3.14
3.14 object: A region of data storage in the execution environment, the contents of which can represent values. Except for bit-fields, objects are composed of contiguous sequences of one or more bytes, the number, order and encoding of which are either explicitely specified or implementation-defined.
This would specifically prohibit separating any part of a structure from the rest.
