note about hex byte ordering #49

Closed davidcarlisle closed 6 years ago

davidcarlisle commented 6 years ago

2.0r1 adds a note saying that the wording

from lowest to highest bits using a least significant byte ordering

is copied from MathML, but essentially the same wording was in the om 1 spec

OK, then this issue is already fixed. Thanks for noticing.

Not sure why this got closed, I was commenting on text that was added at 2.0r1

kohlhase commented 6 years ago

sorry, I misread this.

So you are sugesting that we drop the "copied" rhethoric?

davidcarlisle commented 6 years ago

yes we say we copied "meaningless text" from another spec which reads a bit odd, and to make it worse, the text in question originated in the openmath spec!

anyway so I thought I'd complain (although whether I'm the offender or the offended depends which hat I'm wearing:-)

whatever the hat is you are wearing, you are probably uniquely suited to patch up the situation for OM2r2.
