sizeof(char) is indeed supposed to be 1 as things now stand.
However, this may need to be reconsidered.  The meaning of
"char" is currently overloaded, which doesn't much matter
until one gets into multi-byte character representations.
I'm hoping to work up a complete discussion and a number
of specific proposals in a paper for X3J11 as soon as I can
find the time.
