The discussions of the lexical mappings of the special types and
of unions makes clear that the lexical mapping of a datatype is
not necessarily a function.

Under these circumstances, it is perhaps unnecessarily confusing to
define 'lexical mapping' as is done in section 2.3 as "a prescribed 
function whose domain is a prescribed set of character strings 
(the ·lexical space·) and whose range is the ·value space· of that 
datatype."

Proposed repair: for 'function' read 'relation'.
