Description Abel Braaksma 2014-02-06 00:49:59 UTC 
Under 6.8.4 Built-in Templates: Deep Skip and 6.8.5 Built-in Templates: Shallow Skip, there is no explicit template rule that shows how deep-skip and shallow-skip work. 

The other built-in template rules do have such templates, which makes it easier to understand the corner cases.
Comment 1 C. M. Sperberg-McQueen 2014-02-13 10:01:10 UTC 
We discussed this issue in Prague.

We can offer approximations but not exact textual versions of these templates, because the rules about handling the set of all parameters passed by the caller cannot be expressed explicitly.  But we offer an approximation for shallow skip; we should do so for deep skip as well.
Comment 2 Michael Kay 2014-02-16 19:20:34 UTC 
Change applied.
