Terms "whitespace" and "newline" are used already clause B.1.5 (character pattern matching) and part-10. It is proposed to define whitespace and newline aligned with the existing terms. This shall cause no compatibility problem as normal text editors never use other controls than HT, SP, LF & CR, therefore "old" compilers will be able to read "new" TTCN-3 modules, just for "new" compilers there will be an exact and consistent rule.
A new clause A.1.5.1 is proposed in part-1 and in Part-10 the reference has been changed from $B.1.5 to the new clause.
See in file CR4794_resolution.zip.

Proposed solution is accepted by the STF in principle. Proposed text to be cross-checked.

Approved by CR resolution mtg.

Just one extension: keywords shall be separated by whitespace or newline.

some more correction is needed as newline is a subset of whitespace and no whitespace is needed between a special terminal and the neighbouring terminal

According to the text in A1.5.1, newline and whitespace are separated.

It needs to be checked if alignment with B1.5.1 is needed.

Furthermore, keywords, etc. are not only separated by whitespace or newline, but can also be separated by special characters like "(", "{", ";" etc.

This needs to be added to the text.

contains updates related to special terminal symbols as { } ( ) , ; := == etc. (may be but need not be separated by whitespace) and newline characters: a sequence of newline characters is just one end of line; needed because windows is using CRLF, but Unix is using just CR for a new line but both shall mean +1 line for the __LINE__ macro

CR4794_resolution_part1_v5.doc:
The statement regarding the sequence of newline characters has been made more specific, namely the combination CRLF shall be taken as one end of line, other combinations are denote several new lines (e.g. CRVT is two lines).

Note 1 made part of the main text as it is not a hint but part of the specification. In addition, some rewording.

Is OK with me.
I have noticed, that not the whole new clause A.1.5.1 is shown as new text by word track changes markings just the last changes in the ~v6.doc. I suppose that the whole paragraph will be copied to the master document and will appear as new text. It will be important for the readers to find the few changes we make in the interim version quickly.
