The remaining proposed change to C429, viz. [45:21] The reference to SEQUENCE is obscure. Replace C429 by "C429 (R429) If EXTENDS appears, a shall not appear." or "C429 (R429) If EXTENDS appears, SEQUENCE (4.5.1.2) shall not appear." could possibly be dismissed as simple wordsmithing. -- Van Snyder | What fraction of Americans believe Van.Snyder@jpl.nasa.gov | Wrestling is real and NASA is fake?
