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.
