I have now reviewed all of the instances of the term 'datatype' in the
Structures spec, and as many occurrences of the string 'simple type'
as patience would allow; I have found no instances of either which
seem to me to require change.

There were numerous places where Structures seemed to me to be
playing a little fast and loose with the intensional/extensional 
distinction which I understand to be the point of having the two
terms, but in all those cases Structures proved to be following the 
usage of the Datatypes spec.  So there may be a weakness in our
usage of the distinction (if there is a reliable distinction to be 
made), but no inconsistency between the specs that I have detected.

Accordingly I propose that we close this issue as FIXED.  

Others with a finer nose for semantic inconsistencies are welcome 
to examine the spec and propose changes to the text if they wish.
