My interpretation matches yours. I can't find any indication in the
standard of a definition of what an "array" actually means

 This is a problem with all of the derived types (6.2.5p25). There are
definitions of the terms "array type", "structure type:, "union type",
"function type", and "pointer type", but no definitions of the things
that those types are types of. My interpretation is that for each of
those object types, "X" is short-hand for "an object of X type". I
haven't figured out suitable wording to define what a function is,
since it isn't an object. The best I've come up with is "a thing of
function type".
 

Yes, I agree.
I guess that's why they call c.l.c. regulars who discuss these things "language lawyers"!  Now all we need to do is find a way to get paid like lawyers...
