I'm not totally sure about this one.  This would lead to the 
paragraph ending P90(L9) to be:

"For the character intrinsic operator //, the kind type 
parameters shall be the same.  For the relational intrinsic 
operators with character operands, the kind type parameters must 
be the same."

Which certainly clarifies the situation.

My own humble inclination would be towards clarifying that 
specific kind rules are applied to ALL character operations 
(relational and otherwise):

"For operations on character operands to be intrinsic
 1.  	The intrinsic operator must be defined for character 
	operands. (see table 7.1).
 2.  	The kind type parameters must be the same."



The other two edits look good to me:

> Page 89, Table 7.1, penultimate line (89:38). Change 
> 'requiring' to 'with'.

> Page 90, line 12. Delete 'and have the same kind type parameter value'. 


Hope this is of some help.

Niki
