-----------------------------------------------

F03/0030
The proposed interpretation and edits make no sense unless
one assumes that the intent is to redefine and repurpose
the function IEEE_SUPPORT_DATATYPE.  If that is the intent,
the interpretation and edits should address the issue
directly instead of modifying seemingly unrelated text.

-------------------------------------------------

F03/0096
The second proposed edit prohibits the value of a SIZE=
specifier from depending "on any <input-item>."  That
seems to require the value of a SIZE= specifier to be
constant.

--------------------------------------------------

F03/0110
The last sentence of the proposed interpretation
contradicts the conformance clause of the standard.

--------------------------------------------------

F03/0121
Fortran programmers need the functionality proposed
in the request for interpretation.  The mechanism
proposed corresponds to what many Fortran programmers
already assume to be the case.  The committee should
either adopt the proposed mechanism or provide an
alternative mechanism.

--------------------------------------------------

F08/0008
If the statement in the standard that "the flag
IEEE_INVALID shall signal" is, as is stated in the
interpretation, is incorrect, the text of the
standard should be altered to reflect that.
