should be no surprise about a Generic_entity attribute being redeclared to be a

possible entity instances (anything with a # number in a physical file!),
then a sub-domain (specialization) of that is a generic entity extensible
select, since at most this can specify all entities in the current schema (i.e.
the same as the generic entity itself) but will usually be a subset of the
available entities.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Jochen , Phil,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for the draft of Exp2 that helps a
lot.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Some minor issues:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- Clause 7.6 (language version identification)
should be removed or amended on the basis of Stockholm
decision</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- grammar rules in clause 9.2 are not consistent
with grammar rule in clause 9.2.3 (and it would be better to have only once
these rules rather than than having them 3 or 4 times in 9.2.x )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- clause 9.7 should be located much closer to
clause 9.2.3</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One major one (I do not know whether it has
already been discussed):</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>- in clause 9.2.3.4, I am quite surprised to read
that in a subtype an attribute of type Generic_entity can be redeclared in a
Generic_entity select. This is inconsistent with the 1st rule in that clause
that states that an attribute may be redeclared in a specialization of the
original entity data type. </FONT></DIV>
