(j3.2006) Constraint question: Regarding F2003 vs. F2008

[Bill Long]

Hi Tobias,

As interps progress, more is added to the HISTORY section.  05-006 is 
from 2005.  From 10-006A.txt, the tail end of the text for this interp 
reads:

EDITS:

Remove C1209 from 12.3.2.1.

SUBMITTED BY:  Van Snyder

HISTORY: 04-406    m170  F03/0019 submitted
          04-406r1  m170  Passed by J3 meeting
          05-146    m171  Passed J3 letter ballot #10
          N1658     m176  Failed WG5 ballot N1657

Malcolm Cohen F03/0019: NO.
   This ANSWER is defectively worded, since the example is
   demonstrably NOT compliant with the standard.

   Nor do I believe for one microsecond that we intended it to be
   that way.  The rationale for this NEW FEATURE is just that,
   rationale for a new feature.

   The interp process is absolutely NOT SUITABLE for adding new
   features to the standard.  There is no ambiguity here.  Do not
   do this.



No further action has been taken, so the words in F03 and F08 are not 
changed.  You are looking at the right standards documents.


Cheers,
Bill
