Status update
---------------
Given the progress of the next set of interpretations we have decided
to push the next snapshot release of the specification (3.2R) out
to October 19th.

Andrew noted that we are still progressing the 2004 aardvark and
expects to send  additional items down that track, that would then 
complete in mid November timeframe.

Geoff had identified a couple of items related to ISO C TC3 alignment.

The page and line numbers here are for D3R.

TC3 #36: XBD P228 L7852 change "values such that bitwise ORs of all 
combinations of the macros result in distinct values" to "values that
are bitwise-distinct"
(Note that this is not a direct translation of the C99 TC3 change,
because we already use the term "bitwise-distinct" elsewhere for the
requirement that TC3 #36 spells out verbosely.)

TC3 #40: XBD P332 L11539 change "a decimal, octal, or hexadecimal 
constant" to "an unsuffixed integer constant"

Unless objections are raised the plan is to add these to SD5 and 
merge the changes into D3.2R.

We picked up again on the 2004 aardvark reports.

XBD ERN 88 path prefix definition Accept as marked below

 Change the definition of the term "path prefix" to:

  The part of a pathname up to, but not including, the last component
  and any trailing slashes, unless the pathname consists entirely of
  slashes in which case the path prefix is / for a pathname containing
  either a single slash or three or more slashes, and is // for the
  pathname //.  The path prefix of a pathname containing no slashes is
  empty, but is treated as referring to the current working directory.
  
  Note:
    The term is used both in the sense of identifying part of a pathname
    that forms the prefix and of joining a non-empty path prefix to a
    filename to form a pathname.  In the latter case the path prefix
    need not have a trailing slash (in which case the joining is done
    with a slash character).

 Cross-volume change to XSH page 1232 line 38640 section rename - change:

     "The <i>new</i> pathname shall not contain a path prefix that names
     <i>old</i>."

 to:

     "The <i>old</i> pathname shall not name an ancestor directory of the
     <i>new</i> pathname."

 Cross-volume change to XSH page 1233 line 38667 section rename - change:

     "The <i>new</i> directory pathname contains a path prefix that names
     the <i>old</i> directory."

 to:

     "The <i>old</i> pathname names an ancestor directory of the
     <i>new</i> pathname."

XBD ERN 96 file format %c Accept

By accepting this rdvk we have resolved XCUbug2.txt ERN 82, which
can now be dup'd to this item.
