208	validate_info_seg does not handle XXX.compin.info segments correctly	Gary Dixon	Gary Dixon	"When checking info segments documenting the standard .compin file (used to format pages of manuals, etc), vis reports spurious errors in such usually well-formatted XXX.compin.info segments.  For example:


{{{
vis >doc>info>argument_list.compin.info

>doc>info>argument_list.compin.info

-----------REQUEST info
LINE: 1     08/17/80          argument_list.compin
Severity 3. Date must be in iso_date format: change ""08/17/80"" to ""1980-08-17""
LINE: 3     Syntax
Severity 2. Short name ""argument_list.compin"" not used.
LINE: 7     Function
LINE: 12    Macro action
Severity 2. Nonstandard section title: Macro action
Severity 2. Extra name on segment: arg_list.compin.info

}}}

None of the Severity 2 errors reported above correctly diagnose any real issue.  They all are reported because validate_info_seg does not understand the format chosen to document this .compin macro files.

Since these compose macros are not used these days for generating documents (since source for earlier manuals and other documents has not been located), this report is focused on characteristic deficiencies in validate_info_seg command (such as not handling well-formatted info segments whose chosen format differs from that used by commands and active functions, etc.).  I am therefore setting priority of this bug report to ""minor""."	defect	closed	minor		Documentation		wontfix
