Description Michael Rys 2006-11-01 00:33:15 UTC 
What is the semantics of a union b except a? Is it:
(a) "b"
(b) "a" and "b"

Make binding explicit in the textual semantics.
Comment 1 Jim Melton 2007-02-05 22:03:30 UTC 
The TF agreed to add a sentence to section 3.2.5, FTStopWordOption, the paragraph beginning "Multiple stop word lists...".  That sentence will read "union and except are applied from left to right" (or words to that effect).
Comment 2 Pat Case 2007-03-02 17:45:48 UTC 
In section 3.2.5, FTStopWordOption, the paragraph beginning "Multiple stop word lists...".  Added the sentence:
The keywords "union" and "except" are applied from left to right.

Michale, please review and close if appropriate.
