Comment 1. 
Category: Inconsistency
Committee Draft subsection: 7.16.1

Title: Fix definition of "broken-down time".

Detailed description:

The term "broken-down time" is clearly intended to refer to both the
types "struct tm" and "struct tmx". Change the last part of 7.16.1p3
from:

    ... representing times;

    /struct tm/

    which holds the components of a calendar time, called the /broken-
    down time/; and

    /struct tmx/

    which is an extended version of /struct tm/.

to:

    ... representing times; and

    /struct tm/

    and

    /struct tmx/

    which hold the components of a calendar time, called the /broken-
    down time/, in two slightly different ways.
