There have been changes in r14 to erratum 2.121. Some things are 
ambiguous. Clarifications needed are noted below.

•    Add support for new ‘x’ and ‘X’ symbols.
 
        Just single 'x' and 'X', or all variations, i.e., x, xx, xxx, 
xxxx, and xxxxx, and X, XX, XXX, XXXX, and XXXXX ?
        SMH: Intention was all variations of 'x' and 'X'.

•    Add support for new ‘o’ and ‘O’ symbols

        Don't see 'o' only 'O' on the reference web page given. Is this 
correct?
        SMH: My mistake. Should be all variations of 'O'.

•    Adopt revised semantic for the ‘V’ symbol when used as ‘V’ and ‘VVVV’

        To confirm, we don't allow 'VV' or 'VVV'. Only single V, and  
VVVV. 
        SMH: We may as well allow all variations of 'V'.
