This approach had not occured to me (assuming that it works <g>).
Your idea for a definition of true (and its dual for false) is excellent
if the committe doesn't get the point.  This is the most useful idea
to come of the entire discussion -- barring the chance that the
discussion will get the idea across to the committe and they will
actually change the draft standard (perhaps with a wording such
as you suggested).

When I wrote the original post starting this thread I was hoping to
simply be told that the draft standard treated this correctly.
However, it started a looong thread where about half the people
want it treated properly and about half are appalled at the very
idea (don't ask me why, I guess they like programming in binary <g?).
