Hi, Chris, and thanks for the review. 2 - The last sentence of section 2.1 is: > > > This mechanism has a clear readability > disadvantage, with respect to using a literal text string with a > prefix, and new the prefix mechanism is preferred. > > > Perhaps you meant: > This mechanism of using a literal text string with a prefix has a clear > readability disadvantage. The prefix mechanism described in this > specification can be much more easily read. > No. Take the sentence in context. The context is that it's describing the was we used to do case-sensitive text, giving each character's numeric value. It's *that* mechanism that has the readability disadvantage. Do you really think that text is unclear, in the context that it's given? I suppose we could say "The old mechanism has...", to make it even clearer. Barry
