 Safe code need not worry about ZSTs, but *unsafe* code must be careful about the
 consequence of types with no size. In particular, pointer offsets are no-ops,
-and standard allocators may return `null` when a zero-sized allocation is
-requested, which is indistinguishable from the out of memory result.
+and allocators typically [require a non-zero size][alloc].
 
+Note that references to ZSTs (including empty slices), just like all other
+references, must be non-null and suitably aligned. Dereferencing a null or
+unaligned pointer to a ZST is [undefined behavior][ub], just like for any other
+type.
