All,

I agree with Lofton's proposal.

 I've already had some "regrets" for the telcon set for Wednesday.
Timing requires that we need to submit this defect sooner, rather than
later.  Please review Lofton's proposal and respond with your agreement
or comments on the Notes put into the document by Lofton.

[...this time with attachment...]

All --

Here is what the requested defect resolution might look like, if we were
to go with the "minimal" solution.  Don't take this as prejudicing which
of the two solution options we select -- that decision needs to be made
by user advocates, on the one hand, and builders of authoring tools and
viewers on the other.  Is the minimal solution sufficient to everyone's
needs?

I have thrown in some explanatory notes, "[LH note...]" in italics, only
to aid you in understanding and interpreting the proposed fixes to the
spec.  They would come out before submission.

To recap... our principal decision is whether to suggest the minimal fix
to
CGM:1999 itself -- that would allow to APS-tag only 'middle' (and
'terminal') substrings and require WebCGM 2.1 to explain the
zero-length-substring technique to tag the 'initial' string case.  Or on
the other hand, to suggest an all-case fix, that would include 'initial'

substring directly, but would require considerably more repair to the
State Model and EBNF.

-Lofton.
