    Response to UK Edit E11

To:         J3
From:       Craig Dedo
Date:       April 2, 2003
Subject:    Response to UK Edit E11

Rationale:
The UK suggested edit E11 (in WG5-N1506) was:

E11 Section 9.6.2  Page 204:23

Change: "A wait operation terminates a pending data transfer operation" to
"A wait operation terminates (9.5.4) a pending data transfer operation".

Rationale: Without careful reading of 9.6.1, this could be interpreted to
mean that the wait interrupts and stops a data transfer operation.

Richard rejects this on the grounds that the cross-reference is to a data
transfer statement rather than to a data transfer operation.  I still
believe that the text in the document is open to misinterpretation and
would benefit  from clarification.  Any advice from /jor would be
gratefully received.

Edits:
    JOR reviewed this concern and recommends the following edit.

[204:23]    In the first sentence, change "terminates" to "completes the
processing of".  In the second sentence, change "terminates" to
"completes".
