DR-09-0233: ValISO

[MURATA Makoto (FAMILY Given)]

Dear colleagues,


In my understanding, as a general rule, our first sets of CORs and AMs 
will not cover those DRs which were not closed in CPH.  If we ignore 
this rule, we will continue to have more last-minute DRs (and solutions) 
and thus significantly delay the publication schedule or fail to publish
anything.

I understand that we sometimes have to allow exceptions.  Those mentioned 
as open issues (e.g,. serial values and ISO dates) are exceptions. 
Those proposed by the project editor while compiling the fixes should be 
considered as exceptions, when he provides required changes.



In this particular case, WG4 certainly discussed and almost approved the 
solution proposed by Ecma.  It was only BSI that was concerned.  As
a result, in the draft minutes of the CPH meeting, we have

> DR-09-0233  SML, core: Shortcoming with ValIso 
> After some discussion, it was agreed this wasn't ready for closure

Now, Ecma and BSI jointly proposed a revised solution.  I agree to add 
this issue to the agenda of our phone conference on 7/23.  The rest is 
up to the decision of WG4.

Regards,

SC34/WG4 Convenor
