Sure. But working out that C1536 implies that the invoked procedure is
necessarily elemental requires proving a theorem involving C761, which
is eight clauses distant. It would be clearer to say so. I'd prefer
something like
C1536 If the invoked procedure is elemental and the <data-ref> is an
array, the binding shall have a passed-object dummy argument.
This also more explicitly allows the case of the binding getting a
passed-object dummy argument without either PASS or NOPASS appearing,
which isn't obvious from the current wording.
