Does "Table 109. EBCDIC Collating Sequence" in z/OS: z/OS DFSORT
Application Programming Guide correspond to 1047-US?  It would be a
courtesy to users if the table heading identified the CCSID.

But the brackets seem to be incorrect for 1047 and I see no braces at all
(they appear only in rhe ASCII table)  and the table is replete with
revision bars (EBCDIC changed!?) and I see no explanation for those
in the Summary of changes for z/OS 3.1.

Seriously!?  After IBM inflicted the burden of EBCDIC on users:
<https://web.archive.org/web/20180513204153/http://www.bobbemer.com/P-BIT.HTM>
it chooses to torment them with the need to learn different conventions for
various products?  Consistency would be a boon here.
