The November 1999 revised edition was compared on PDF page 191. The spelling and definition were directly compared with the rendered original. It is a general or specialist abbreviation of the time; inclusion does not establish its birth year or period of popular use. The abbreviation was checked as a separate document type explained within the 양해각서 entry. This does not establish its legal effect or current procedures.
