RE: IR 2064

Folks,

I agree with Ajay, that no rewording is needed.  If you search the LRM for
"otherwise", you will find that the usage "if <condition-1>, then
<specification-1>; otherwise <specification-2>" is pervasive.  It means

  <condition-1> => <specification-1>

  not <condition-2> => <specification-2>

I think that in this case, we need only issue an explanation, not an
interpretation.  (The terms "explanation" and "interpretation" are defined
in clause 5.9 of the IEEE Standards Board Ops Manual, see
http://standards.ieee.org/guides/opman/sect5.html#5.9.)

BTW, our resolutions should refer to the current revision of the standard,
1076-2002.  Where relevant for explanatory purposes, we can refer to
prevision revisions.  So, in the case of this issue, we should explain the
specification in 1076-2002 and indicate that it was the same in 1076-1993.

</nit-picking>

Cheers,

PA
