E.4.PFIP:4.1 - Bound the candidate and accepted inputs

Identify:

  • the candidate FPF, DPF, or LPF edition and declared publication use;
  • every accepted source contribution included in this candidate edition;
  • every candidate PublicationFormExpressionRelation occurrence and its selected edition, publication form, and bounded-use declaration;
  • the corresponding carriers and publication occurrences only when their identities affect the comparison; and
  • every predecessor expression whose continuity, replacement, retirement, split, merge, or use change is claimed.

Complete the accepted input set before assembly. If one source contribution changes a public entry, required input, result, field meaning, action order, stop, return, or another consumed interface, either include the affected public entries and direct consumers in this candidate or leave that contribution out until they can be updated with it.

For each accepted source contribution, record the candidate publication-form expression and the passage, field, relation, cue, or selected structure intended to incorporate it. A source contribution with no corresponding predecessor content is an accepted addition. Changing or retiring predecessor content needs an accepted content decision; changing or retiring a publication form is not such a decision.

Use E.24.PUB to keep the framework edition, publication form, expression relation, carrier, bearing relation, audience, bounded use, and publication occurrence distinct. Use the smallest explicit statement that supports the comparison.
