<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Paul,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Almost all the text in the proposal is different to some extent to what is in the DWARF 5 spec. Some passages are clearly brought forward from the DWARF 5 spec, but generally needed changing to some extent to fit in with the new text. I
did add “Notes” to tie each section back to the DWARF 5 spec that it modifies. Since the proposal is largely concerned with DWARF location descriptions and addresses it ended up touching a lot of places in the DWARF expression sections and the attributes that
use them. Despite the size of the proposed changes, the intent is that it is fully backward compatible with DWARF 5.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Making comments in the review would likely be the easiest to track.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Been meaning to get to this… I have to say, it’s a big lump of text to take in. Two general questions: Did you still want comments posted on the review (D70523) or in some other fashion? And, would it be possible to more clearly identify
the new/changed bits of the sections that you are quoting from the spec? When I see a bunch of familiar text I’m inclined to skim over it, which means I’m likely to miss something that just has that subtle “New” on it. Maybe you could put a Note at those
points just to be a more obvious call-out.<o:p></o:p></p>
