I do not understand the trigraph examples in section 2.3, page 2-3
of the December draft standard.  These examples act as if there
were a 10th triagraph sequence ( "???" replaced by "?" ) in
addition to the 9 listed sequences. However the draft standard
explicitly denies that there are any unlisted sequences,

The last sentence of Section 2.3 paragraph 4 reads:

[Example: The sequence "???=" becomes "?=" not "?#". The sequence
"?????????" becomes "???", not "?". -- end example]
