| In that case, I think we can interpret the "when" in the description
| of the trap command literally except when 2.11 overrides it.
I think it should be interpreted just like its normal English usage,
as in:
when I win the lottery I am going to buy a Ferrari
or
I am going to buy a Ferrari when I win the lottery
(which both say the same thing).
It doesn't mean that the instant the lottery winnings arrive (tomorrow
please!) I will be at the luxury imported car dealers, rather it states
a pre-cpndition which will trigger an event which is to follow, sometime,
thereafter.
Thus
When one of the correspomding conditions arrises (standards
speak for "when a signal has been delivered") the argument
action shall be read and executed...
is "sometime after a signal has been delvered, run the trap action".
