Those are good points. The authors don't take a stance on it, but I do think that syntax for packed structs should be standardized. IMO, so should syntax for inline assembly (both as optional features). These are already common extensions; this is exactly what they should standardize. The additions of "typeof" and #embed are also good examples of this (they had been talking about adding #embed since 1995 [1]).
As for vector instructions, I'm unsure how it could be implemented in a standard way, but I'm not against it. Maybe something like this [2], but with the syntax changed for C instead of C++.
