Malcolm's responses to David Muxworthy's comments:

Why not remove C1229 now?  It takes only three small edits.

Response: Because there is no defect in the standard so it would be an 
unnecessary edit.  Editorial fixes like removing redundant text is more 
efficiently done via the editorial process for the next revision.  (It might not 
necessarily be best to remove the specific redundancy identified by the interp 
question.)

In the first edit shift 'only' four words to the right?

Response: ok (the original is also ok, but this is marginally nicer).

Is it preferred style to use 'd==0' in narrative English in the edits (twice), 
rather than d=0?  d is not a variable (although it could be represented by a 
character variable).

Response: I take your point, but actually I don't like "[with] d=0" much either; 
"[with] d equal to zero" would be better I think, and matches the wording in the 
later clause better.

Reason for comment on F08/0057
It would be more in accordance with previous practice to number the new 
constraint C1504a.  [Corrigendum 1 uses both upper and lower case suffices for 
new constraints.  Presumably lower case is preferred.]

Response: I agree.  I think we should use lower case for the suffices.

Cheers,
