That is, it is possible to reach a built-in primitive datatype or the ·simple ur-type definition· by repeatedly following the {base type type definition}. Since 'derived' is not defined in Datatypes so as to be a reflexive relation, this wording is problematic. Possible recastings include: Take I 2 All simple type definitions are, or are derived ultimately from, the ·simple ur-type definition (so· circular definitions are disallowed). That is, it is possible to reach a built-in primitive datatype or the ·simple ur-type definition· by following the {base type type definition} zero or more times. Take II 2 All simple type definitions are, or are derived ultimately from, the ·simple ur-type definition (so· circular definitions are disallowed). That is, from any ordinary simple type definition it is possible to reach a built-in primitive datatype or the ·simple ur-type definition· by following the {base type type definition} zero or more times. 12631 1 cmsmcq 2006-10-27 21:16:51 +0000 At its call of today, the WG agreed to adopt the Take I wording given in comment #1 and close the issue.
