- S8.112 was the last but one draft that went out for public review. The last
- version to be publically distibuted before approval was S8.115 with several
- pages of changes (Document X3J3/S9). S8.115 was adopted with minor changes.
- Apart from the fact the S8.115 contains more explanatory material there
- is little substantive change between S8.112 and S8.115.
