Small inaccuracy in standard

Open DavidSagan opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

In the standard:

In general, all data sets shall be stored as homogenous arrays or matrices respectively,

The word "respectively" does not makes sense here. This sentence should be:

In general, all data sets shall be stored as homogenous arrays or matrices,

Also, instead of "stored", "represented" would be more accurate. The standard does not care about how a file format "stores" physically, we care about how it is represented, e.g. through a format's official API.
