I just went looking through the C Coding Standards document 
(https://github.com/tianocore-docs/Docs/raw/master/Specifications/CCS_2_1_Draft.pdf) 
and couldn't actually find this requirement.  Which really surprises 
me... I must not be using the right search terms.

Could someone point out the specific section covering this requirement? 
I have somebody asking me about it internally here.

Sorry to be both dense and pedantic,
