    <thetext>The status quo admits of an interpretation forbidding implementations from implementing new editions of normatively referenced specifications, e.g. XML 1.0 5e.  This is wrong, and we should fix it.  It matters to our colleagues in ISO.

[Note: this bug filed against Datatypes, but it applies to Structures as well]</thetext>

    <thetext>Note from SG:
&lt;Sandy&gt; [On 2009-05-01 RESOLUTION: a) issue an erratum b) instruct the editors to prepare wording such that the references will not be updated, that the short name will not include the edition. 
&lt;Sandy&gt; ... and in general the floor will be left alone and the ceiling raised. Like the change to 1.1]</thetext>
