I had forgetten this interp.  Thanks for reminding me.

The requirement goes a bit too far, since it makes DATA inconsistent
with initialization in a type declaration.

It ought to be something like

"If a type specifies default initialization for any of its components,
no subcomponent of an object of that type shall apppear in a
data-stmt-object-list."

That was, after all, the essence of the question Tobias asked.
