Hi Mark,

Not speaking as REVme Chair, I have an opinion on this CID. Given that after its definition in 1.5, this is the first use of the L() function, I don't see a problem in including the reference to clause 1.5 at that location. Also, this is the only location outside of Clause 12 where this function is used extensively and readers are more likely familiar with what is going on.

I have no issues with the change of SHA256 to SHA-256.

Cheers,

Mike

11.45.4

2503.39

"L is defined in 1.5 (Terminology for mathematical, logical, and bit operations)" is not needed (not used elsewhere)

Discussion:

There is no need to refer back to Subclause 1.5 for operators etc. defined there, and indeed we don’t do so anywhere else in the draft. The whole point of Subclause 1.5 is to have operators etc. used all over the spec in one place, so we don’t have to keep cross-referencing to their definition.

There is nothing special about the use of L() in 11.45.4. It’s not even special in that it’s a use outside Clause 12 (where L() is most prevalent) as there is a non-xreffed use in 11.23.4. We really don’t need the spec to have unnecessary and haphazard xrefs like this.

Ironically, though, 11.45.4 does invoke a function SHA256 which is (a) not xreffed and (b) non-existent (the function name, as described in Subclause 1.4, has a hyphen).

Proposed resolution:

REVISED

Delete the cited line (~2503.39) as proposed and additionally change “SHA256” to “SHA-256” at 2503.35.

Thanks,

Mark
