References in document (e.g. page, clause, figure and/or table numbers):

clause 5.6.29, TILE

 

10

Nature of defect (complete, concise explanation of the perceived problem):

The parameters indicate that the Cell Colour Precision of the TILE element is type I. The second and third paragraphs on p.188 clearly describes that this is intended to be of the same form as the "local colour precision" parameter of CELL ARRAY — CI or CD depending on colour selection mode. The formal grammar on p.277 agrees with the description in those two paragraphs. The encodings also agree with the description.

 

11

Solution proposed by the submitter (optional):

 

In clause 5.6.29, TILE element Cell Colour Precision parameter, change the datatype from "I" to "form depends upon specific encoding"

Editor's response (any material proposed for processing as a technical corrigendum to, an amendment to, or a commentary on the International Standard or DIS final text is attached separately to this completed report):

 

Amend the standard as proposed above.
