    For all the reasons discussed in this thread already. We're only talking
    about one string, in one example in the specification. I'd like that
    example to be meaningful in the scope of the funcationality defined in
    the spec. The only functions in the spec that could use that argument
    accept strings as input.
    
    Let's be clear here. I'm not talking about "them" plural. I'm not
    talking about changing standardard funtionality. I'm not trying to
    remove meaning from anything in the specification. I'm merely suggesting
    how to make a single example more meaningful to those who are looking at
    it for the first time. Specifically, I'm suggesting that the datatype
    used at line 1072 be string.
