Status as of 5/3



Following is a status of what's happening with the standard.
Please let me know if this list differs from your expectations.

All clean-up issues that I didn't find problems or questions
with have been included. The next message you get is the list of
issues followed by the files numbers that were changed as a result of each
issue. To find the change that specifically pertains to the issue
you're tracing, look in the source file for "\issue{<issue name>"
or in the hardcopy for "The following is from issue: <issue name>.
The file number to file name translation is in another mail message
you will receive.

What I plan to do next includes removing the Side Effects section
from all the functions that aren't checked out (and then remove it
from that functions that are checked out when they come back to me).
Also I will be including the issues that may be approved in June, 
and the issues that I haven't included because of outstanding questions.
I will complete this job when all the sections are checked back to me
again. I will send you the files that have been changed for your review
(so you won't have to go through another complete review if you don't
want to) after I have added the new issues.
I will be creating a list of all places in the standard where error
terminology is needed and suggestions about which type of error 
seems to belong there.


I believe we are responsible for at least part of the agenda for the
June meeting. Any suggestions about how we should present what we've
done?
