RE: [sv-bc] e-mail ballot: respond by Dec 3, 8am PST

Brad, on 1339 do you have a suggestion on how to reword this?

"Any white-space characters preceding or following the macro text are
not considered part of the macro text."

What would you call the macro entity before we remove the pre and post
white space? 

Maybe we can just say this instead:

"Any white-space characters preceding or following the macro text will
be removed from the macro text."

On 1619, what percentage of the SV consumer population would you say
uses non-ANSI ports?  Is this something we can address later?

-Tom
