I am opposed to removing this. If there is a problem with it, then let's fix it.

This is fixing the wrong thing in my opinion - it is the example that is misleading not the sentence being removed here.
@nigelmegitt @skynavga Please propose a fix to the example then. |
@palemieux @skynavga I don't want to have this discussion in two places at once - right now it seems like it is happening in #275 so I'll wait for something closer to a conclusion there before proposing something additional here. I did propose an alternative example already in that thread. |
I can accept removing the second paragraph of 8.4.1.3 and adding a note under the example as follows:

I would still like to add a replacement sentence that explains that when chained referential styling is used each referenced style is fully resolved before the reference is followed.

I don't believe this fully addresses the issue since I would like a clear short sentence to be added in place of the removed paragraph to explain that each referenced style must be resolved into specified styles before being followed.
