Sorry (I am not a native speaker). But to me "undefined" and "invalid" 
have  completely different meanings (in this context). An "Invalid" use 
of the language would result in an error (compiler or runtime), while an 
"undefined" language construct would result in something that might work 
in some way, but there is no guarantee that the outcome is always the 
same (e.g. in another instance or another compiler version).

I now do understand (see my reply to Sven).
