> Who do I send my vote for "#pragma volatile" to?

Your implementor.  Notwithstanding some of the cricitism of "volatile", it
is moderately well entrenched in X3J11 now... especially since the public-
comment period that has just closed was the last serious chance to get rid
of it.  If you really dislike it (I personally don't, I just think it's
a bit overdone), you've missed your chance.
