Edits to 10-007r1 [73:12-13] 4.5.5, insert paragraph break between R448 and R449. {Rules are too close together.} [74:15] "attribute attribute" -> "attribute". [118:22-23] In 6.4.1p3, change "Both the starting point and the ending point shall be within the range 1, 2, ..., n [where n is the length of the string] unless the starting point exceeds the ending point, in which case the substring has length zero." to "If the starting point is greater than the ending point, the substring has length zero; otherwise, both the starting point and the ending point shall be within the range 1, 2, ..., n." {Improve clarity of exposition.} [130:27] 6.7.3.2p3, "an unsaved" -> "any unsaved allocated". {Say all of the locals of the BLOCK are deallocated on exit, but only if they are allocated at the time.} [399:11] 13.8.2.16p1, Delete "or type parameters,". {Redundant duplication.} [456:29-30] 16.6.6, item (22), insert spacing between bullet and text (twice). {Too close.} ===END===
