Also, as something new, its inclusion is part of a later draft of Issue 8. Additional issues it depends on need to be addressed first, specified fully, and incorporated. This is more why it went on the back burner, that I recall. Various other bugs are in similar state; the prerequisites to finish speciifying them so they can be considered portable aren't done yet either.

It's bug 249. It was reopened in Oct 2015 and several notes were added to the bug after that, starting with https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=249#c2893 My guess is the conference calls postponed returning to it because there was ongoing discussion, but by the time the discussion ended it had "gone off the radar". -- Geoff Clare <g.cl...@opengroup.org> The Open Group, Apex Plaza, Forbury Road, Reading, RG1 1AX, England
