I haven't looked in on the debate for many months, but it boils down to
the C++ people feeling that C99 was unnecessarily incompatible, and the
C folk stating that they had no obligation to remain compatible with
C++. Many of the differences are subtle, and some difficult to resolve
in a common fashion.
I highly recommend David Tribble's excellent synopsis of the differences at:
