Thanks to you and others for pointing this out.

Given the terseness and precision of the specification, it seems to me a bad idea to use both 'visible' and 'visibly utilized' with the same meaning, even more so as it turns out that 'visibly utilized' is already defined before 'visible' is used. I guess it wouldn't hurt to fix this in an erratum. Regards, Martin.Received on Monday, 30 June 2003 15:58:13 GMT
