Specific comments

Page 3, third bullet at top
The correct standard has not been referenced. ISO 2375 is a procedure for registration of escape sequences.

Deferred. It is the authors' understanding that the register created in the fulfillment of procedures described in ISO 2375 is a catalogue of coded character sets indexed by what is refered to as the Registration Number. Can the concerns behind the comment be elucidated further?

Page 3 and pages 13, 14
The two entries for TR 9573 are incorrect. There are no parts entitled Chemistry Markup or Mathematics Markup either published or in the work programme. Is a reference to TR 9573-13:1991 (Public entity sets for mathematics and science) intended?

Accepted. Part 13 now specifically referenced.

Page 4 and page 10
Delete ISO/IEC 8613-15. It was cancelled when SC 18/WG 3 was wound up.

Accepted.

Page 5 and page 18
ISO/IEC 10918 now has two Parts published: Part 1 in 1994 and Part 5 in 1995:

Information technology - Digital compression and coding of continuous-tone still images: Requirements and guidelines
Information technology - Digital compression and coding of continuous-tone still images: Compliance testing

Accepted. Part 1 referenced specifically

Page 5 and page 19
ISO/IEC 13818-7 has not yet been published. The DIS is in the Technical Programme with a target publication date of 98-12.

Rejected. Part 7 has been submitted for publication by SC29.

Page 6 and page 11
ISO/IEC 8824 is now a 4-part standard published in 1995:

Information technology - Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) : Specification of basic notation
Information technology - Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) : Information object specification
Information technology - Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) : Constraint specification
Information technology - Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) : Parametrization of ASN.1 specifications

Accepted. Part 1 referenced specifically

Page 7 and page 16
ISO/IEC 10175 is a 2-part standard published in 1996:

Information technology - Text and office systems - Document Printing Application (DPA) - Part 1: Abstract service definition and procedures
Information technology - Text and office systems - Document Printing Application (DPA) - Part 2: Protocol specification

Accepted. Part 2 referenced specifically

Page 7
Note that the copyright date and the publication date of this Technical Report will have to be updated to correspond to the actual date (probably 1999).

Accepted, but this has to be done by ISO staff when they decide to publish the document.

Page 19
Move the three entries relating to ISO/IEC 13818 to follow the entry for ISO/IEC 13522-3, so that the numerical ordering of the ISO standards is maintained.

Accepted.

Minor editorial corrections
The UK has given the project editor a copy of the PDTR marked up to show minor corrections to the text and corrections to the dates and titles of standards that are referenced.

Accepted.

U.S. comments

p.2, 1st para, first sentence: Change "between" to "among"

Accepted.

p.3, 1st full para, first sentence: Replace "encoded" with "represented"

Accepted.

Replade last two sentences with:

Accepted.

Public identifiers identify notations in a system-independent manner; sysem identifiers do so in a system-dependent way . These identifiers may, for instance, identify documentation that defines the notation, the processor that was used to create the data, or a process that is intended to apply to the data.

Accepted, after relevant corrections to spelling.

Next paragraph: Change "between" to "among"

Accepted.

Scope, first paragraph: change "will facilitate the interchange of data encoded using internationally standardized data formats" to "facilitates the interchange of data represented in internationally standardized notations ("data formats")"

Accepted.

p.4, second bullet list, first item, change "sequence" to "delimiter"

Accepted.
