Update: this document (in version 1.1) has been submitted and accepted as a new item in the Common Document Repository. It can now be officially referred to as “CDR 7”.

There are some fuzzy corner cases in the way the Common Lisp standard describes the syntax and semantics of format directives. I have prepared a first draft of a clarification proposal for the relevant parts of the standard. I’m giving myself some time for comments and feedback before actually submitting this to the Common Document Repository.
