Clauses §8.3.5 and §8.2.2.3

[caroline arms]

Murata-san, Rex, et al.

I have started to go through the draft.  Rather than wait to the
teleconference, I thought I would send emails on issues that are not simply
fixing typos or grammar as I come across them.

Clause §8.3.5 includes
"The path components are equivalent part names, as specified in §8.2.2
[M7.3]"

Should this point instead to §8.2.2.3 Part Name Equivalence and Integrity
in a Package?

I find §8.2.2.3 rather confusing and as I read it carefully, I realized
that "equivalence" as meant in §8.3.5 might need to incorporate more than
ASCII case-insensitive matching -- as equivalence is defined in the first
paragraph of §8.2.2.3.  In particular, I wondered whether equivalence after
application of NFC was also relevant.

Perhaps someone more expert than me can weigh in here.

I realize that §8.2.2.3 mixes "shall" and "should" -- presumably
deliberately.  That probably adds complexity here.

I have some other concerns about §8.2.2.3, but I would need clarification
on what "equivalence" needs to be for §8.3.5 before I could make useful
suggestions.

PS:  Given the government shutdown, please be sure to send important emails
to my gmail account (or to the WG4 list).  I'm afraid the shutdown may play
havoc with my schedule, just as the threat of a shutdown has been leading
to inefficiency over the last few weeks.
