Yves,
> So same semantics as before.
Yep. The editorial committee would't be doing its job right
if it were changing the semantics of the standard. The intent
here is to rewrite everything so that the semantics intended
all along will finally be revealed to everyone!
It really is a little like the task posed to Bible specialists
who try to modernize the language of the Bible from
earlier editions to make it comprehensible to modern readers.
They certainly aren't out to change the meaning of the text. ;-)

P.S.
Joshua 1.8
"This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but
thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest
observe to do according to all that is written therein: for
then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt
have good success." (King James)
-->
"Keep this book of the law on your lips. Recite it by day and
by night, that you may observe carefully all that is written
in it; then you will successfully attain your goal."
(New American Bible)
