In cases where multiple DFI/DUI pairs make use of the same encoding, + * the decision of which pair to name the encoding after is arbitrary. Review comment: I do not believe that is possible. Many specifications (including all those I have access to) provide only a subset of all DFI/DUI pairs, so it is not possible to know what the lowest number DFI/DUI pair is. Even with access to the global dictionary, it is possible that a lower numbered one will be added in the future. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
