Introduction --------------- This document lists the technical issues raised by the editor with the current working document, standing document 007. Issues are separated into two lists; the resolved ones and the unresolved ones.

The one-line description is just a hint as to the issue, not a comprehensive statement of it. B. Unresolved issues -------------------- 004.
