Summary 0001867: ISO editors Issue 8 comment 046
Description In their comment 046 on Issue 8 the ISO editors requested that we do not use parentheses in chapter 3 subheadings unless they are part of the term being defined. The Austin Group's response was that this change would be considered for the next TC.

There are three way in which parentheses appear in definition headings:

1. To indicate synonyms, e.g. "Directory Entry (or Hard Link)". The ISO style is to put synonyms in bold underneath the preferred term.

2. To provide context, e.g. "Arm (a timer)" and "Disarm (a Timer)". In some cases (including these two) the context is not needed as the term is only ever used in that context. Otherwise, the ISO style for providing context is to put multiple entries for the same term in the definitions clause, with the "domain" in angle brackets before each definition.

3. Character names, e.g. "Alert Character (<alert>)". This usage is not really a synonym or context; it is identifying which character in the portable character set is being defined. This should be done in the definition text instead of the heading.

There is also one term defined with parentheses that is never used - Local Interprocess Communication (Local IPC) - and so should be deleted.
