I'm pretty confident that Michael will say, "don't rely on the value
until the final spec is published." (He's told me exactly that in the
past. I've been guilty of jumping the gun on a couple of DW_LANG codes
and a few DW_AT values.)
But we should let Michael answer for himself...
Michael, for your reference, here's the start of this thread:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-11/msg03195.html
and its continuation into December:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2014-12/msg00099.html
Michael, are you OK with sharing your target dates for publishing the spec?
