@ page 156 line 6005 section awk editorial {20051213a}

Problem:

Edition of Specification (Year): 2004

Defect code :  1. Error

Table 4-1 (pages 156-157, lines 6005-6047) is missing some
horizontal lines, in my PDF copy anyway.

Lines 5997-5999 say "In the following table, valid expression
operations are given in groups from highest precedence first to lowest
precedence last, with equal-precedence operators grouped between
horizontal lines."  But the horizontal lines are missing.  They
are present on page 168 of IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 Part 2, but were
inadvertently removed at some point.

The problem is present in a worse form in the HTML version
<http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/awk.html>;
there are horizontal lines between every pair of operators, and
in some cases even within an operator description.


Action:

Restore the horizontal lines in Table 4-1, pages 156-157, so that they
look like the horizontal lines in Table 4-1 of the older standard.

Fix the HTML version to look like the PDF version.
