The definition given here for "behavior, implementation-defined" contradicts its use in the normative sections of the standard. Although it is defined as "promoting predictability and reproducibility within any given implementation", the actual use of this term in the standard always implies undefined and unreferenced propietary behiour which in fact makes predictability and reproducibility impossible.

Adjust this definition to the actual contents of the standard, or better yet, revise the standard to make this this statement true by defining each particular "application specific" behavior (see further comments for section 4)

Section 4 te

6(18)

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment CO-0003 (Modified: 2007-12-07) Agreed; the current wording does not meet the intended goal. The following changes will be made to Part 1, §4, page 6, lines 9­11: behavior, implementation-defined — Unspecified behavior where each implementation is expected to document s that behavior, thereby which would thereby promot e ing predictability and reproducibility within any given implementation. (This term is sometimes called “application- specific defined behavior”.)
