Is it still safe to delete nullptr in c++0x?

5.3.5/7 says:

If the value of the operand of the delete-expression is not a null pointer value, the delete-expression will call a deallocation function (3.7.4.2). Otherwise, it is unspecified whether the deallocation function will be called.

And 3.7.4.2/3 says:

The value of the first argument supplied to a deallocation function may be a null pointer value; if so, and if the deallocation function is one supplied in the standard library, the call has no effect.

So the behavior is well defined, as long as the standard deallocation function is used, or a user-provided deallocation function handles null pointers correctly.
