Re: Motion 52: final "Expressions" text for vote
Vincent, Dan, P-1788,
Yes, decorations appeared here, and, to my knowledge,
have not appeared in detail in a scholarly publication.
However, they have been extensively vetted, modified, and
vetted within the working group, and members of the
working group would be the primary people refereeing
a scholarly paper on the subject. Whereas a scholarly
paper would have two or three referees, there have been
50 or more eyes in the working group on decorations.
Juergen has a student working on a complete implementation;
hopefully, that will come out soon.
The main difference is that the refereeing process for scholarly
papers in mathematics is semi-blind. However, I've found
people in the working group have not been hesitant to
voice their opinions on proposals.
Best regards,
Baker

are clearly other things people would like in their standard.
IMHO, the main difficulties are about decorations. Isn't this a new
notion? They appeared here in P1788 after a discussion between me
and you (and a bit with Nate Hayes), in 2009.
