Re: Can you clarify? Re: Do I have a second? Re: Motion to stop work on the standard

I also see som new and different interesting features , but I have the fear that it may be too new. I am in favor of set-based as the default flavor, but I have no objections against an additional Rump flavor, and somebody (Siegfried) should work that out for a future version

John,

However, do you really want implementation to be a requirement for a
flavor to be standard conforming?

Cheers,

Bill

Is Siegfried's proposed interval foundation yet another example of an
system that would not be a P1788 standard conforming flavor?

I found is paper very innovative and interesting.

So did I. Unfortunately it seemed to me on first reading that (any
nontrivial realisation of) it was incompatible with P1788 since early
in the project's history. If I'm wrong, and it can indeed be a flavor,
that would be great.

At the time he made the "Rump system" public, I felt it was too late
to discard what we had done and start again. So I think Siegfried is a
bit unfair to the group in saying "the only comment I heard from the
stds-1788 mail group was that there is no reference implementation".

I hope someone implements the system, and I look forward to try it out.
