Thanks very much for those minutes.  Unfortunately, it appears to me
that the issue resolutions were effectively lost, i.e. they do not
appear in POSIX 1003.1-2001.  This should get fixed, not only by
editing the rationale, but also by applying the corrections to the
normative part of the standard.  The fixes should be applied
regardless of what interpretations are chosen for RE-CONCAT, RE-ASSOC,
and RE-ITERATE.

How do we get the procedural ball rolling on this?
