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'
