According to Section 1.3.f
"If the name of any category starts with an italicized part,
it is equivalent to the category name without the italicized
part. The italicized part is intended to convey some
semantic information. For example, msb_constant_expression
and lsb_constant_expression are equivalent to constant_expression."
In the text, the "msb_" and "lsb_" are italicized.
So "formal_argument_identifier" in 19-2 is equivalent to "identifier".
I agree that it would be better if a nonitalicized "simple_" were
inserted after the second underscore.
formal_argument_simple_identifier

>Description:
(A) In Syntax 19-2, in "formal_argument_identifier",
"formal_argument" is in italics. This is a remnant from
1364-1995. It should be all in regular font, with an
additional line,
formal_argument_identifier ::= identifier .
(B) Should that be simple_identifier, not just identifier?
(C) Sentence 4 says,
"The compiler shall substitute the text of the macro for
the string `macro_name."
First, that should be `text_macro_name.
But it is still correct only when there are no arguments.
As the paragraph after Syntax 19-3 says,
"For a macro without arguments, the text shall be
substituted as is for every occurrence o`text_macro_name.
However, a text macro with one or more arguments shall be
expanded by substituting each formal argument with the
expression used as the actual argument in the macro usage."
(D) The last sentence of NOTE (1)at the end of 19.3.1 is
"Here, the larger of the two expressions p + q and r + s
will be evaluated twice."
This sentence is incorrectly in Courier font.
