Summary: Summary: Issue: NotFound exception needs clarification:
         
 Page 4-10: Section 4.3.2 Exceptions
 
 The subsection for "NotFound" describes the value of rest_of_name as:
 
     rest_of_name identifies the portion of the name that caused the
 error.
 
 And then goes on to describe for each value of "why" the first name
 component that rest_of_name must have. 
 
 This requirement is insufficient. It must require that rest_of_name
 contains the remainder of the non-working name (just like that in
 CannotProceed). For example, if you supply a name such as
 "aa/aa/aa/aa" to any operation that raises NotFound, the current
 definition requires it to return "aa" as the first component but does
 not require that other components be set. In fact, Sun"s
 implementation (and probably others) currently just returns one 
 component, which is useless.
 

Resolution: closed issue, resolved
Revised Text:  Section 4.3.2  (3.3.2) Exceptions. Replaced sentence describing "rest_of_name" to read: "The rest_of_name
member contains the remainder of the non-working name".

Issue: NotFound exception needs clarification:
        
Page 4-10: Section 4.3.2 Exceptions

The subsection for 'NotFound' describes the value of rest_of_name as:

    rest_of_name identifies the portion of the name that caused the
error.

And then goes on to describe for each value of 'why' the first name
component that rest_of_name must have. 

This requirement is insufficient. It must require that rest_of_name
contains the remainder of the non-working name (just like that in
CannotProceed). For example, if you supply a name such as
'aa/aa/aa/aa' to any operation that raises NotFound, the current
definition requires it to return 'aa' as the first component but does
not require that other components be set. In fact, Sun's
implementation (and probably others) currently just returns one 
component, which is useless.
