Thanks for the addition. Can we make the two "(see the "78-Level Data Items" chapter in this manual)" to a real link?
@dilodilo I've moved a bunch of "bug" items of yours to the patch tracker, as you provide explicit changes that "only" need to be reviewed and applied. We also had bug reports -> where it was not 100% clear how the resolution look like (no direct suggestion).
As noted, I think about removing it. Not now, but possibly 4.x. The ancient warning are exactly about updating programs step by step. As far as I remember, Brian/Roger/me just came up with that - it never was part of any ISO standard. In hindsight that was bad, because there were already other extensions for that and ISO (likely later) came up with its own variant.
