- For mail comments, it will assist us if you are able to send them on 8-inch
- single-sided single-density IBM format diskette - but even
- if you can manage this, please also send us a paper copy, in case
- of problems with reading the diskette.
-
- All comments will be sorted and
- processed mechanically in order
- to simplify their analysis and to
- facilitate giving them proper
- consideration. To aid this process
- you are kindly requested to
- precede each comment with a
- three line header
-
- :indent 10
- !section ...
- :line
- !version 16
- :line
- !topic ...
- :text
- The section line includes the section
- number, the paragraph number enclosed in
- parentheses, your name or affiliation (or both),
- and the date in ISO standard form (year-month-day).
- The paragraph number is the one given in the
- margin of the paper form of this
- draft (it is
- not contained in the Eclb files); paragraph numbers
- are optional, but very helpful. As an
- example here is the section line
- of comment #1194 on a previous draft:
-
- :indent 10
- !section 03.02.01(12) D. Taffs 82-04-26
- :text
- The version line, for comments on the draft standard, should
- only contain "!version 16". Its purpose is to distinguish comments
- that refer to different versions.
-
- The topic line should
- contain a one line summary of the comment.
- This line is essential, and you
- are kindly asked to avoid topics such
- as "Typo" or "Editorial comment"
- which will not convey any information when
- printed in a table of contents. As an example of an informative topic line consider:
-
- :indent 10
- !topic Subcomponents of constants are constants
- :page
- :text
- Note also that nothing prevents the topic line from including all
- the information of a comment, as in the following topic line:
-
- :indent 10
- !topic Editorial: "... are {implicitly} defined by a subtype declaration"
- :text
- As a final example here is a complete
- comment received on a prior version of this draft:
- :text
- .ll 60
- :indent 10
- !section 03.02.01(12) D. Taffs 82-04-26
- :line
- !version 10
- :line
- !topic Subcomponents of constants are constants
-
- Change "component" to "subcomponent"
- in the last sentence.
-
- Otherwise the statement is inconsistent
- with the defined use of subcomponent in 3.3,
- which says that subcomponents are excluded
- when the term component is used
- instead of subcomponent.
