Yes, it does say something about it:

|Each enumerated type shall be compatible with char, a signed integer type,
|or an unsigned integer type. The choice of type is implementation-defined
|but shall be capable of representing the values of all the members of the
|enumeration.

It says it's implementation defined. :D
