SC 34 National Body Comments on N 216
Canada
(1) I suspect Annex C has a
typo "CICAGO" perhaps is supposed to be "CHICAGO" in the
example
(2) the table in Annex E
includes entries indicated with "c" yet not defined in the legend;
also, the use and utility of the table could be explained in an introductory
paragraph or two
(3) the use and utility of the table could be explained in an introductory paragraph or two
Japan
1. In the headings of Annex B, C, D, E and F, there should be the
indication of "Informative".
2. In 12.6.28.5, 12.6.28.6, 12.6.28.7, "disply" should be replaced
with "display".
3. In Annex C, just before example, the incorrect tagging <P<
P> should be replaced with <P>.
4. In clause 3. and 4. of Annex B, each unordered list item should be
added with some explanations.
5. In Annex D, the Grove Plan and SGML Property Set should be added
with some explanations.
6. In Annex E, the large table should be split into several parts for
rendering on pages of ISO documents.
7. In Annex F, types and relational characteristics should be clarified
in the table. The descriptions "<unknown>" should be
"unknown".
Norway
The language throughout this PDAM is
in need of editing, with respect to both grammar and orthography. The text
should not be added to the standard without having been edited.
Annex B:
·
Why
is the 'quantity' type introduced? its place in the numeric tower (see section
6.2.1 of R5RS) needs to be made clear. also, the relationship, if
any, of the 'length' type with the rest of the numeric types
must also be made clear. it is very important that the relationship
between the numeric types as defined in R5RS is retained in DSSSL,
and that extensions fit cleanly in with the existing types.
·
why
is a separate 'language' type needed? what is the difference between
instances of this type, and instances of the 'symbol' type? The same applies to
the 'style' and 'address' types.
·
'culumn-set-model'
should be 'column-set-model'
Annex C:
·
'CICAGO'
should be 'CHICAGO'
· 'VIRTICAL ahould be 'VERTICAL'
