Hi Lisette,
Further to your report on this problem, you'll have already seen the
following, but I just wanted the list to know that it has been
officially recorded.
Thanks again for the report.
George.
Thanks for passing this on, and to Lisette for finding and documenting
the
problem. I think it comes from an attempt to implement a rule to the
effect
that a letter sign is required when one or two letters immediately
precedes
a number. (That's just my vague memory, probably not the way it's stated
in
British Braille.) It appears that the case where the first of the two
letters is a capital is not being handled correctly as to the order of
the
letter and capital sign. As you said, I'll put this on the "probs" list
for
resolution (problem 460).
