RE: Interface Inheritance Clarification

Thank you for the comment.  The Working Group this issue as a CR128 [1].

The latest editor's draft [2] has some improved wording in regards to
interface inheritance. 

Unless you let us know otherwise within 2 weeks, we will assume you agree
with the resolution of this issue.
