Some things in
this contest that sound reasonable to me;
Input and output are to memory resident buffers.

subroutines
which get called from a contest defined main program (using
some typical non asm language like C or pascal).

Nice, but with these things, like internals of the system for input/output,
binary and similarities, you tie again all down to a single system to
use - we loose the idea of a cross platform competition where only basic
processor features are measured (see also the subject).
