    Alphabetize I/O Keywords & Data Attributes

Subject:    Alphabetize I/O Keywords & Data Attributes

Rationale
    The lists of data attributes in Chapter 5 and I/O keywords in
    various sections of Chapter 9 are getting to be quite lengthy.
    It is becoming increasingly difficult to reference the material
    in these sections.  If the sections were in alphabetical order,
    then finding material on a particular data attribute or I/O
    keyword would be much easier.

    Likewise, the BNF rules for the various I/O keywords should be
    reorganized into alphabetical order, except for those few
    keywords which are either mandatory or are position-dependent.

    I originally proposed doing this at Meeting 131 in November
    1994, in paper 94-375r1.  At that time, JOR recommended that
    this be done, but the paper was never acted on in plenary.  I
    see that Van Snyder has proposed the same idea in section 2 of
    his paper 01-103.

Edits
[69:22-78:10]   Reorganize the sub-sections of 5.1.2 into
alphabetical order by attribute name.

[78:17-84:23]   Reorganize the sub-sections of 5.2 into
alphabetical order by name.

[170:42-171:12]     In rule R905, put the BNF for the non-optional
I/O specifiers into alphabetical order by I/O keyword.

[171:32-174:10] Reorganize the sub-sections of 9.4.4 into
alphabetical order by keyword name.

[175:42-176:16]     In rule R913, put the BNF for the non-optional
and non-position-dependent I/O specifiers into alphabetical order
by I/O keyword.

[177:18-180:36] Reorganize the sub-sections of 9.5.1 into
alphabetical order by keyword name.

[194:3-8]               In rule R921, put the BNF for the non-
optional I/O specifiers into alphabetical order by I/O keyword.

[197:7-40]              In rule R927, put the BNF for the non-
optional I/O specifiers into alphabetical order by I/O keyword.
