However, the definition of "Alias Name" actually says implementations may allow other characters within alias names as an extension and doesn't say anything about <slash> being disallowed. The affected text is being moved out of the definition by bug https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1874, so the desired action is a change to be applied to the new location in XCU. Desired Action: On page 2477 line 80277 section 2.3.1 Alias Substitution, after applying bug 1874 change:<blockquote>Implementations may allow other characters within alias names as an extension.</blockquote>to:<blockquote>Implementations may allow other characters, except for <slash>, within alias names as an extension.</blockquote> On page 3872 line 134187 section C.2.3.1 Alias Substitution, change:<blockquote>The definition of ``alias name'' precludes an alias name containing a <slash> character.</blockquote>to:<blockquote>A valid alias name cannot contain a <slash> character.</blockquote> ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2024-11-28 15:27 geoffclare New Issue 2024-11-28 15:27 geoffclare Name => Geoff Clare 2024-11-28 15:27 geoffclare Organization => The Open Group 2024-11-28 15:27 geoffclare Section => 3.10 Alias Name 2024-11-28 15:27 geoffclare Page Number => 32 2024-11-28 15:27 geoffclare Line Number => 1064 2024-11-28 15:27 geoffclare Interp Status => --- ======================================================================
