In response to overnight input, I've posted a small revision [1,2] to the Least Power draft. Reported problems and dispositions are: * Problem: Elliotte Rusty Harold questions whether SQL is Turing complete [3] and Jon Hanna points out that at least some versions aren't [4]. He further points out that some versions explicitly aim to be Turing complete, and are thus bad examples of a language in which exploitation of completeness is discouraged [5]. I suspect Elliotte and Jon are right and that we don't want to use SQL as an example of a Turing-complete "but don't do that" language . Change: added "To Do" list entry to get right answer and update draft. * Problem: Roy questions whether PLP was in the 1998 version of Axioms [5] as claimed or added in 2002. That document is labeled: "Date: 1998, last change: $Date: 2002/01/14 01:51:31 $ " Change: added To Do entry to check with Tim. * Problem: Dan feels it's misleading to list only Tim as editor, since he hasn't even reviewed the latest text. Change: I've added myself as an editor. We can always decide to remove me if the the TAG prefers.
