QT approved comment: In 2.6.2, the sentence "It is felt that a judiciously chosen set of .primitive. datatypes will serve..." is unnecessary (and slightly pompous) self-justification: tell the reader what you've decided and leave them to decide whether you've got it right.
On 30 Mar the WG decided to delete the paragraph in 2.6.2 beginning "It is felt that a judiciously chosen set..." and add a sentence at the end of the first paragraph reading "The datatypes defined by this specification fall into these categories."

The semantics of the first sentence are retained in the addition to the first para.
The change proposed above was approved by the WG on 30 March 2007 at its face to face meeting in Cambridge. It is now reflected in the status quo version of the Datatypes spec. Accordingly, I am setting the disposition of this issue to RESOLVED / FIXED. If the originator of the issue would examine the change and let us know whether it satisfactorily resolves the problem or not, we'd be grateful. To signal that the resolution is acceptable, change the status of the issue to CLOSED. Otherwise, to signal that it's NOT acceptable, change the status to REOPENED (and tell us what's wrong). If we don't hear from you in the next three weeks, we'll assume that silence betokens consent, and close the issue ourselves.
