Subject: display position?

I am assuming it is a reference to the existence of a location in a matrix for the storage of a value that is part of a matrix result but why call it "display position?" Is there some significance to that? Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Patrick PS: Sure, have to take out the examples, "the few rules" language, etc. but focusing here on the "display position" language. -- Patrick Durusau patrick@durusau.net Chair, V1 - US TAG to JTC 1/SC 34 Convener, JTC 1/SC 34/WG 3 (Topic Maps) Editor, OpenDocument Format TC (OASIS), Project Editor ISO/IEC 26300 Co-Editor, ISO/IEC 13250-1, 13250-5 (Topic Maps)
