Henry - could you explain why (or point to a source that does) numbers 2 and
3 are  not valid?

Thanks,

Mark

The WG haven't gotten to this one yet.  What follows is only my
personal opinion.

No erratum required, user-deriving a simple from a complex is already
disallowed.

Needs an erratum, one way or another.

Needs an erratum, one way or another.
