373.0. "Questions from the BL8 Release Notes" by ATLAST::BOUKNIGHT (Everything has an outline) Wed May 13 1987 14:19

    1: Would it be possible to add <SIGNATURE_LIST> as a synonym tag
       for <SIGNATURES>? I can understand why the MIL-SPEC doctype might
       be required to show <SIGNATURE_LIST> but that leaves us with
       an inconsistency across the doctypes.  And for generator front
       ends (like OUTLINE), we now have to special case the FRONT_MATTER
       tag based on the target doctype.
    
    2: Same as above for the <SET_APPENDIX_LETTER> and
       <SET_APPENDIX_NUMBER> tags.  Why can't they be synonyms in the
       non-MIL-SPEC doctypes?
    
    3: Page 6, right before section 1.3, it says "The tag will not be
       supported ...".  Which tag?

    whoops.. almost forgot this one.
    
    the <signatures> tag was changed to <signature_list> in MIL-SPEC
    because of problems getting LSE to recognize a tag that has
    the same name but different numbers of arguments with different
    meanings. 
    
    when you say you want synonyms, what do you mean, exactly?
    
    "The <mark_deletion> tag will not be supported." was corrected
    in the input file to read:
    
      The <tag>(mark_deletion) tag will not be supported.

    Sorry, I just get a little sad when I see the human interface lose
    a little in the battle to write for the user and not the computer.
