Issue 18261: Notes to implementors (vsiplxx-rtf)
Source:  (Mr. Andrew Watson, )
Nature: Revision
Severity: Minor
Summary: There are several oblique references to hidden interface semantics in "Notes to implementors", particularly the expectation that a development mode should keep reference counts on various data structures. However, since providing a development mode is not mandatory, this cannot be a normative part of the specification. This could be made clearer.
Resolution: In the interest of closing the current RTF so that the solutions to resolved issues can be made publically available, this issue is deferred to the next RTF.
Disposition: Deferred
