on each comment submitted

MT General   ed Wherever the comment ‘the following are possible enumeration values for this type’ in the DIS, a wrong interpretation may be given as to what is allowable and what is not. It may not be clear whether the list is exhaustive or illustrative. A greater stress should be made on what is actually included and what is not.   
MT Part 4, Sections 3.17.4.2, 3.17.6.7   te The format for time representation does not allow for timezone and ‘Daylight Savings Time’ information. The inclusion of timezone information, or specification that all times are in GMT/UTC, or the use of ISO8601 for date representation should be considered.  
MT Part 4, Section 3.17.7.48   te For units such as “cup”, “tablespoon” and “teaspoon”, different countries have different equivalent values in liters. For instance a “cup” could mean 8oz, 285ml or 250ml in the US, UK and Australia respectively. For conversion, these must be clarified.

Specification of the standard of measurement which is intended should be considered.  
MT Part 4, Section 3.17.7.17   ed For the function AVEDEV (average deviation), the formula given is incorrect and does not give the average deviation. The correct formula should be included.  
MT Part 1, Section 11.3.1   ed The “Content type” item in the beginning states that the content can be “any content”, but the first paragraph states that the part “allows content specified in an alternate format (HTML, MHTML, RTF, earlier versions of WordprocessingML, or plain text)” This paragraph seems to limit the content type that can be included in the alternative format import part. Clarification of this paragraph is required as this is deemed to be an editorial issue.
