But as Dennis later points out, we aren't really consistent.
I suspect this will require a paragraph of explanation in section 1.2,
with other paragraphs on cover implementation-dependent and
implementation-defined.
Not a lot of coverage but just to point out how you have to hold you
mouth when saying some of the provisions. ;-)
(It amazes me that markup as done as well as it has considering the
atrocities against good design, the English language, and commonsense
that have been committed in its name. If nothing else I take it that if
markup is robust enough to survive our "help," then it must really be
worthwhile.)
Hope you are having a great day!
