Re: compare operation returning success



So you are suggesting that both statements below just be removed, right?

I still have problems with compare operation returning success (0):

success (0)
(...)
This result code is normally not returned by the compare
operation, see compareFalse and compareTrue. It is possible
that a future extension mechanism would allow this to be
returned by a compare operation.

compareFalse (5)
compareTrue (6)
(...)
This result code is normally only returned by the compare
operation.

I still don't see what success would mean as a result of a compare
operation. If the draft mentions that this can happen, I think it
should also mention what the value would mean. Otherwise, I think it
would be better to just delete this possibility from the draft, and the
'normally' in the descriptions of compareFalse/compareTrue, and leave it
to the definition of the future extension to define say that compare
with this extension can return success.
