Same goes for this statement in A.3.2: "However, the "add" functions MAY take more than two arguments." When an implementation chooses that its "add" functions only accept two arguments, is it still conforming? You SHOULD reword the statement as: "However, the "add" functions SHALL accept any number of arguments, including zero." (Why artificially restrict the "add" function to two or more arguments? By the way, why doesn't "multiply" take multiple arguments, too?) Roland
