355:7 Add " and false if it is not" at the end of the sentence

355:9 Add " and false otherwise" after "procedure"

361:27+ (the line does not appear to be numbered.) Does the "nor
shall Y..." clause apply to "Y shall not be present" or
to "If X is..."? The sentence makes sense either way.

376:14 Does EXECUTE_COMMAND_LINE cause normal or abnormal
termination if the command itself causes the termination?
Something like EXECUTE_COMMAND_LINE('stop me at noon")

376:23 This says that command lines are executed synchronously
if the processor doesn't support asynchronous execution.
Actually, it might not support command lines at all, and
adding "wait=.false." is unlikely to force it to.
Edit: delete "; otherwise...synchronously".

378:14 It makes no sense to allow the FINDLOC value to
be an array.
Edit: Insert "scalar and " after "shall be".

384:3 None of the routines should cause undue anythings.
Implementers know what this is for.
Edit: Delete ", without causing overflow or underflow"

392:6 Why is IS_CONTIGUOUS limited to assumed-shape and
array pointers? Pages 87-88 give a whole list of
things that are contiguous. Many are obvious, but
we allow SQRT(0.) and LOGICAL(.TRUE.).
EDIT: Delete " assumed-shape".

407:10-12 This paragraph describes the effects that the PURE
subroutine has on things that aren't it's arguments.
MOVE_ALLOC can't be pure! This is probably a F2003
interp question, rather than a 2008 integration issue.
This also affects 339:13 and note 13.1.

410:8 As with HYPOT, they should do the right thing.
EDIT delete line 410:8
