xiii/42. Replace 'and' by 'simultaneously and then'. [The text says
that everything happens simultaneously, which is not correct.]

xv/29. Delete comma.

33/21-22. Replace 'underflow occurs ... below' by 'the exact result of
an operation is negative but rounding produces a zero'.  [Underflow in
IEEE arithmetic usually produces a denormalized number, rather than
zero.]

40/14. Delete hyphen from 'non-pointer'.

51/27-31. Replace the note by 'An interface body for a dummy or
external function may specify a result with a character length
parameter value of * provided the function is not invoked. This is
because a character length other than * is required to invoke the
function. Invocation is possible only with an implicit interface, since
this characteristic must be specified to be the same in an interface
body as in the procedure.'. [The present wording fails to make the
important point that the interface must be implicit if the procedure is
invoked, and wrongly states that all the specifications in an interface
are required to be the same as in the procedure.]

61/16. Change 'an' to 'a nonpointer'. [We surely do not intend to
prohibit initializing a pointer to null because its type has default
initialization.]

83/28. Change 'PROCES' to 'PROCESS'.

115/47. Capitalize the first word and add ';' at the end.
115/48. Capitalize the first word and add '; and' at the end.
116/1. Capitalize the first word and add '.' at the end.

119/16. Replace '<index-name> variables' by '<forall-header> expressions'. 

199/4. Add 'not' after 'shall'.

203-205. Add edits for 006/81.

212/5-8. Capitalize the first word of each item.

266/40. Replace '(c) ... and' by 'Otherwise, if B is real zero,'.
[This is meant to cover the case when the processor does not
distinguish between +/- 0.]

305/30. Replace R504 by R512.
305/31. Replace (10) by (11).
