Summary0000150: Wording mismatch in Utility Description Defaults, CoE
DescriptionIn Utility Description Defaults, under CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS, the first
paragraph states:

    "The CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS section describes the effects on the
    environment, file systems, process state, and so on, when error
    conditions occur."

The last paragraph states:

    "Default Behavior: When this section is listed as ``Default.'', it
    means that any changes to the environment are unspecified."

I suspect that at some point the first paragraph was changed from just
mentioning effects on the environment to "environment, file systems,
process state, and so on", but the last paragraph has not been changed
to match. The reader is left wondering whether the mismatch has any
significance.
Desired ActionChange

    "Default Behavior: When this section is listed as ``Default.'', it
    means that any changes to the environment are unspecified."

to

    "Default Behavior: When this section is listed as ``Default.'', it
    means that any changes to the environment, file systems, process
    state, and so on are unspecified."
