Re: An error in Section 14.4 of the final draft
Let me address Vincent's points that affect my recent additions to 14.4.
* 5th paragraph of §14.4:
> - Shouldn't "for bare intervals for non-empty intervals" by replaced
> by "for non-empty bare intervals"?
No: the context is compressed intervals, not bare intervals. I'm saying
that a compressed interval that represents a non-empty interval should be
encoded as if it were a bare interval.
> - In "decorations are represented as a pair of [...]", I think that
> singular/singular or plural/plural should be used, but not
> plural/singular.
Ok, it might be better to say: "... as pairs of ..." (the sentence is
already in the plural).
> - Replace "no payload information" by "ignoring the payload"?
No -- I'm elaborating on what I mean by "generic NaN".
* Next paragraph:
> - In "Export and import of interchange formats normally occurs [...]",
> is "occurs" correct, or should it be "occur"?
I parse this as "(export and import) ... occurs", not "(export occurs) and
(import occurs)" -- i.e. the concept, not the action.
> - "There is therefore a need to" -> "It is therefore needed to"?
To me, "it is needed to" is pretty awkward.
