That paragraph is obviously mistaken considering `377` does not appear in the document anywhere else, but the `177` is not meant as `377`. I am not sure where the `Ø` is from, in the Recommendation it is nonascii [^\0-\177] which is anything but 0x00 .. 0x7F, in other words, 0x80 .. 0xFF if the maximum value is 0xFF (0o377 in octal). It can't be 0o377 because then the set would be empty (anything but <minimum> ... <maximum>). -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
