Thanks.

In section 3.1.2, the draft standard proposes regarding the memoryspaces 
can be found, which is exactly the same of what I am proposing. 
(Interesting enough because I did not know of this draft standard until 
now.)

The proposal suggests using the syntax _X, _Y, etc. Which in turn could 
translate to _Flash or _Progmem for our application.

I think the [gcc] community has to decide if we are to get our own 
keyword _X or that we have to use an __attribute__ to do the same thing. 
My general impression is that GCC has a tendency towards using 
attributes over _Keywords and #pragma's. We'll see.
