To make the specification conceptually simpler, it would suffice to use only the term up-to-date consistently throughout the whole specification. Desired Action: Reword the 12 places that use the term out-of-date to use the negated form of the corresponding up-to-date instead.
Alternatively, explicitly define that out-of-date means the exact opposite of up-to-date, and that there is no range of undefinedness between them. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2023-05-07 12:24 rillig New Issue 2023-05-07 12:24 rillig Name => Roland Illig 2023-05-07 12:24 rillig Section => make 2023-05-07 12:24 rillig Page Number => 3103-3136 2023-05-07 12:24 rillig Line Number => several ======================================================================
