National Body Comments:

Japan

1. Between item 3 and item = 4

We should make the following change as well as item = 3.

The RoR1 (SC 22/WG 4 N 0227) suggests this change in = Solution 3 of DR-10.

3a. Page 166, 9.3.13, Parameterized Interfaces, = third paragraph,

first sentence, change in part to = read:

"When an interface is specified = as the parameterized interface in

an EXPANDS phrase in the = REPOSITORY paragraph, a new interface

..." = [DR-10]

2. Item 9

The following text (added by item 9 of DTC) is not understandable.

Especially, it is not clear that "of type = type-name" references the type identified by the data-name of the entry described = with the TYPEDEF clause.

"2) Neither the description of the subject = of the entry nor the

description of any data item subordinate to = the subject of the

entry shall directly or indirectly describe = a data item of type

type-name." = [DR-17]

We propose to reword the newly added syntax rule for the = TYPEDEF clause with the following text, which is similar to the syntax rule 4 = for the SAME AS clause.

"2) The description of the subject of the = entry, including its

subordinate items, shall not contain a TYPE = clause that directly

or indirectly references this type = definition."
