Thanks for pointing that out Pieren.  I'll put it on the LWG TODO list 
to make sure it gets done. None of us speak good French though, if 
anyone would like to provide an accurate translation, I would be 
grateful.  We can double check it with our original legal translator but 
I don't think that is imperative as the intent is clear.
