There are actually other occurrences of x that should be in bold,
e.g. in the first example of §14.2. Others might be found among
the list given by:

  grep -P --color=always '(?<!\\~)\bx\b' P1788*.tex

(this outputs all the x's that are not preceded by "\~") but not
all of them, of course.

Other possible issues about §14.4:

* First, since §14 also defines Level 4 (§14.4), should it be renamed
  from "Level 3 description" to "Level 3 and Level 4 description"?

* 5th paragraph of §14.4:
  - Shouldn't "for bare intervals for non-empty intervals" by replaced
    by "for non-empty bare intervals"?
  - In "decorations are represented as a pair of [...]", I think that
    singular/singular or plural/plural should be used, but not
    plural/singular.
  - Replace "no payload information" by "ignoring the payload"?

* Next paragraph:
  - In "Export and import of interchange formats normally occurs [...]",
    is "occurs" correct, or should it be "occur"?
  - "There is therefore a need to" -> "It is therefore needed to"?

* Last paragraph: I'm wondering whether "Interchange encodings
  for non-754 interval types, and on non-754 systems, are
  implementation-defined." means that at least one interchange
  encoding shall be defined.
