Correction: was Re: [office-comment] Comments on Errata 01 (CommitteeDraft 03)
Murata-san,

A correction to a comment in my post on 15.3.4:

I replied in part:

The final sentence should read:

However satisfying that may be, our public *expects* corrections to 
text*s* to be in response to the corrections requested, not as licenses 
to correct all offenses against good style that may or may not appear in 
a text.

Hope you are having a great weekend!
