1) The last row of Table 1 is inconsistent. The left column shows three
digits required, but the right column says 1--3 digits are allowed.

2) If 1--3 digits were allowed, the syntax would be ambiguous. Is \177 the
rubout character or is it the shift-in character followed by a 7 or is it
the start-of-heading character followed by two 7's?

3) What is the meaning of \200? Should the first digit be restricted to <=
1?
