Hi again, and thanks for the additional details.

Ok.

Indeed, you already pointed out this issue in your old message but
I didn't fully understand it, sorry.

Now, March, 2004, your DR is in the [Ready] status! Since its implications
are quite important (for this PR too), first I want to document that in
the sources, and point to 389. Moreover, as you often repeated in the past,
[Ready] resolutions must be implemented and, for all practical purposes,
must be considered part of the standard we are implementing. This means,
the status of this PR, strictly speaking, right now seems to me more a
plain "Open". But I fully get your point about the need for a follow up to
your DR 389, so let's keep it Suspended. Could you please keep us up to
date about the iter of the issue with the committee?

Thanks again
