The C spec is certainly not formal or precise.

Another example is that it's unclear from the standard if you can write malloc() in C.

Sure but the point OP is making is that it is still more spec'd than most real world problems

You're welcome to try writing a C compiler and standard library doing no research other than reading the spec.
