Comment 2 Sandy Gao 2005-10-06 16:46:34 UTC 
In summary, the proposed changes are:

1. The definition of "metacharacter" in Appendix F from
      A metacharacter is either ., \, ?, *, +, {, } (, ), [ or ].
   to
      A metacharacter is either ., \, ?, *, +, {, } (, ), |, [ or ].

2. Production #10 in Appendix F from
      [10]    Char    ::=    [^.\?*+()|#x5B#x5D]
   to
      [10]    Char    ::=    [^.\?*+{}()|#x5B#x5D]
Comment 3 Sandy Gao 2005-10-14 15:33:42 UTC 
Discussed at 2005-10-14 telecon.

Resolution: to adopt changes suggested in comment #2.
