Currently the definition of "well-defined" just covers "the one-definition rule". However, there are many other cases that a program is ill-formed, no diagnostic required without violation of the ODR (e.g. instantiating a template when its associate constraints are satisfied but the corresponding standard concepts are not modeled).
Should we improve the wording?

Yes, there seems to be room for improvement.

Maybe just "... and semantic rules where a diagnostic is not required"

Editorial meeting:
Suggestion: "C++ program constructed according to the syntax and semantic rules"
Have CWG review it.
