Table column meanings in spec

Open kengruven opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

In the spec, I'm seeing a few minor issues which aren't severe enough to prevent implementation but do make it slightly more confusing than need be:

  1. §29.2: "There are seven columns titled “name,” “print,” “c/s,” “c/i,” “M,” “value,” and “definition.”" The last two columns are actually titled "definition value" and "definition unit".
  2. §30.2: "There are seven columns titled “name,” “print,” “c/s,” “c/i,” “M,” “value,” and “definition.”" There are in fact 8 columns: "name", "kind of quantity", "print", "c/s", "c/i", "M", "definition value", and "definition unit".
  3. §44.2: "The meaning of the columns is declared in §34." §34.2: "The meaning of the columns is declared in §30.2." There's nothing technically wrong here but it is inconsistent. Several sections (like 43 and 47) refer to §30.2, while several others (like 36 and 37) refer to §34, which in turn says to look at §30.2. It would be nice if all of these pointed to the first section, instead of sometimes pointing to another reference.
  4. §49.2: "The meaning of the columns is declared in §49.2." This section consists in its entirety of a pointer to itself.
