Summary0001227: Sub-section numbering in 2.9.1 is inadequate
DescriptionThe way section 2.9.1 is divided into sub-sections
is poor, there is a 2.9.1.1 but no 2.9.1.2 and the
division between what is in the preamble part of
2.9.1 what is (and belongs in 2.9.1.1) and that
which follows what belongs in 2.9.1.1 but which
is included there now because there is nothing
else is arbitrary, and bizarre.

Note that no technical changes are proposed here,
this is purely headings, and a sub-section numbers
so deep they do not even affect the index.
Desired ActionAdd new sub-sub-sub-section headings as follows

Between lines 75484-5

     2.9.1.1 Order of evaluation

Between lines 75500-1

     2.9.1.2 Variable Assignments

Between lines 75533-4

     2.9.1.3 Redirections

Between lines 75621-2

     2.9.1.5 Standard open files

and renumber the existing sub-sub-sub-section
heading on line 75545 from 2.9.1.1 to 2.9.1.4

(Naturally pick better heading text if desired.)

 The subsection heading "2.9.1.3 Redirections" in the desired action is problematic because there would be two paragraphs below it, and the second has nothing to do with redirections.

In the May 20th teleconference we came close to a solution based on those two paragraphs both being mostly about the case where there is no command name, however we then got sidetracked by looking at the grammar and headed in a different direction. I think the previous direction was more promising, and have followed it below.

Proposed changes ...

On page 2365 line 75485 insert:
2.9.1.1 Order of Processing
before:
When a given simple command ...

On page 2366 line 75501 insert:
2.9.1.2 Variable Assignments
before:
Variable assignments shall be performed ...

On page 2366 line 75534 change:
If there is no command name, any redirections shall be performed ...
to:
2.9.1.3 Commands with no Command Name

If a simple command has no command name after word expansion (see [xref to 2.9.1.1]), any redirections shall be performed ...

On page 2366 line 75541 change:
If there is a command name, execution shall continue as described in Section 2.9.1.1. If there is no command name, but the command contained a command substitution, the command shall complete with the exit status of the last command substitution performed. Otherwise, the command shall complete with a zero exit status.
to:
Additionally, if there is no command name but the command contains a command substitution, the command shall complete with the exit status of the last command substitution performed. Otherwise, the command shall complete with a zero exit status.

On page 2367 line 75545 change:
2.9.1.1 Command Search and Execution

If a simple command results in a command name and an optional list of arguments, the following actions shall be performed:
to:
2.9.1.4 Command Search and Execution

If a simple command has a command name and an optional list of arguments after word expansion (see [xref to 2.9.1.1]), the following actions shall be performed:

On page 2368 line 75622 insert:
2.9.1.5 Standard File Descriptors
before:
If the utility would be executed ...

Looks fine to me - while getting the right labels on the
section numbers is important, what concerned me most was
getting the section numbering rationalised.
