It would be astonishing if it did, because almost anything it might say would be tantamount to mandating some specific memory-management strategy, and that's not a language standard, it's an implementation standard.

(My own implementation works by raising a purchase order for more memory, then pausing until it is installed.  This is a mostly-viable approach on 64-bit systems.)
