Description

[facet.num.get.virtuals]p3 is a very long paragraph (nearly a page and a half), nearly all of which is indented two or three levels. It contains quite a few (un-numbered) paragraph breaks within "stages". We should investigate more conventional ways to present this process.

Similarly for [facet.num.put.virtuals]p4, which is presented as one big "Returns:" clause, although it very much is not.

Research direction

Start by locating the [facet.num.get.virtuals]p3 and [facet.num.put.virtuals]p4 entries in the TeX sources and reviewing how their stages and return information are currently presented. Compare those structures with more conventional presentations elsewhere in the draft; the work is done when both entries no longer use the described oversized paragraph or single Returns clause.
