DR-14-0014, "SML: Merging Cells"

[Francis Cave]

Hi Rex

This looks OK to me – it is consistent with how we have agreed to resolve
the issue – except that it has me wondering about the use of the term
"unspecified". I presume we mean the term to be interpreted as defined in
§4, i.e. it is an application-dependent behaviour and not an
implementation-defined behaviour. I don't think we can require the behaviour
to be documented for each implementation, even if that is highly desirable,
but that may be worth a moment's discussion before we close the DR in Seoul.

And, yes, I'd delete the text from the Primer that suggests a particular
interpretation.

Kind regards,

Francis

Here's my proposed resolution text. Francis, please see if I have achieved
your suggested goal.

I the Primer edit, I propose deleting one sentence and possibly a second one
as well.

Charlie is already unhappy about our proposed direction, but let's close
this in Seoul. Yes, interop is important, but this isn't our first explicit
or implicit unspecified behavior.
