Sometimes it seems to have the conventional meaning of omitting characters from one end of a string, as in: The lexical representation for gYear is the reduced (right truncated) lexical representation for dateTime: CCYY. [section 3.2.11.1] Other times the omitted characters are replaced by other characters, as in: The lexical representation for gDay is the left truncated lexical representation for date: ---DD . [section 3.2.13.1] It's not difficult to understand what is meant, but the document overall aspires to (and for the most part handily achieves) a higher standard of precision. For consistency, I'd like to see the term defined in 1.1.
