The term I propose to introduce is "package," meaning "a module and all of its submodules." Something like [13:12+] <<2.2.4 Package>> A <> consists of a module and all of its descendant submodules. A package is not a program unit or a scoping unit. A <> is a module or a submodule. Then change <<2.2.4 Module>> to <<2.2.4.1 Module>> and <<2.2.5 Submodule>> to <<2.2.4.2>> Submodule. Most of the edits for pages 14 (heading for Table 2.2), 46, 55, 56, 59, 60, 84, 113, 115, 251, 259 (C1211a), 280, 283, 415, 422 and 435 could be simplified, either by replacing "module or submodule" by "package" or "package component" or by replacing "module" by "package component" instead of introducing a parallel sentence or list item (e.g. 422:14-17). I do not propose that the TR be amended, only that the new terminology be introduced when the TR is integrated into the next revision of the standard. The promise regarding TR's is "integrated without change," not "integrated word-for-word." I believe "integrated without change" means "integrated without change to its substance." -- Van Snyder | What fraction of Americans believe Van.Snyder@jpl.nasa.gov | Wrestling is real and NASA is fake?
