Hi David, I reviewed both patches on the latest HEAD. 0001: SGML nesting fix applied and verified - make html builds successfully with the corrected element nesting for UNIQUE and PRIMARY KEY. 0002: The six "variant" label changes look good and should help avoid the confusion reported on -general. Looks good to me. Regards, Dapeng Wang David G. Johnston <david.g.johnston@gmail.com> 于2026年4月10日周五 15:04写道: > On Fri, Apr 3, 2026 at 10:18 AM David G.
