Discussion:

In 29.7.2 [time.clock.system], the declaration of `system_clock::rep` says "see below", but there is nothing below that describes it.

[ Howard adds: ]

> This note refers to:

> I.e. this is standardeze for "`system_clock::rep` is signed". Perhaps an editorial note along the lines of:

[ Batavia (2009-05): ]

> We agree with the direction of the proposed resolution. Move to NAD Editorial.

Proposed resolution:

Add a note to 29.7.2 [time.clock.system], p2:

> -2- `system_clock::duration::min() < system_clock::duration::zero()` shall be `true`. [Note: `system_clock::rep` shall be signed. -- end note].
