Summary

0001868: ISO editors Issue 8 comment 051

Description

In their comment 051 on Issue 8 the ISO editors requested that we change the way we define terms with multiple contexts to use the ISO style, which is to put multiple entries for the same term in the definitions clause, with the "domain" in angle brackets before each definition. The Austin Group's response was that this change would be considered for the next TC.
