That's not really want the C99 version said.  It says:
      3  An integer constant expression with the value 0, or
         such an expression cast to type void *, is called a null
         pointer constant.55) If a null pointer constant is converted
         to a pointer type, the resulting pointer, called
         a null pointer, is guaranteed to compare unequal to a
         pointer to any object or function.
