COR3 issue: ST_Hint

[John Haug]

We discussed this on the last teleconference.  Nobody remembered the details behind this and some old e-mail dug up by Murata-san and Caroline didn't show a specific decision or reason.  Chris and I looked through a trove of public files we have access to and "cs" does appear in some.  I think the right resolution here is to keep "cs".

Subject: COR3 issue: ST_Hint

Background: E-mail "Leftover from DR 09-0040" (latest reply 2015-08-03)

Summary:
ST_Hint (DR 09-0040)

*         DR removed "cs" value

*         --> Murata-san to remove "cs" from schemas

*         ** Only the value "default" remains; where did "eastAsia" get removed?  DR 09-0040 adds lots of text referring to "cs" and "eastAsia" values of the hint attribute for some CTs, which is of type ST_Hint.  DR 09-0040 is therefore internally inconsistent and should not be applied as is.  I haven't yet rediscovered why ST_Hint had items removed.
Rex> I just checked MM's mail, "Leftover from DR 09-0040" of 2015-08-02, and his proposed schema fix only removes cs; eastAsia is still there.

However, on close inspection, the way the Enumeration Value table is written in the COR (see entry #81) is that this is the complete table. As eastAsian was never intended to be removed, I should have shown an empty row after the default row, containing ..., indicating that the remainder of the table stays as is. And even though the COR didn't contain that ..., when I applied the COR to 2012, I did NOT remove eastAsian, 'cos there was no delete (strike-through in red) instruction in the COR to do so.

Regarding, "DR 09-0040 adds lots of text referring to "cs" and "eastAsia" values of the hint attribute for some CTs, which is of type ST_Hint.  DR 09-0040 is therefore internally inconsistent and should not be applied as is", I see there is a cs element APART from the cs enumeration value in ST_Hint. (I also see that eastAsia is also an attribute name as well as an enum value.)

I think this needs to be looked at to determine whether the cs attribute value should be removed and to confirm whether eastAsia was to be removed (and if so whether it ought to).  Because there is such a significant amount of text changed here, I think publishing as is would be a problem and that we should correct this before the Beijing meeting so the new DCOR ballot (COR3b?) will have it.
