Re: DR 122: Mapping issues

Jean-Jacques,

Sorry, but I'm confused by the following.

The current text for DR 122 is given.  Then (in the proposal) it is 
suggested that this text for DR 122 is a dup(licate) of DR 122.
Unless there is a typo here, I don't understand what is a duplicate 
of what.

I'd rather not drop anything until I understand what is being 
duplicated.

Best regards,
Henry
