The above description is correct in my mind. No changes ae needed.

In the above the following should be changed to :
"The predefined rotate operators perform the rotate left (<@) and rotate
right (@>) _operations_. Their left-hand operand shall be of type bitstring,
hexstring, octetstring, charstring or universal charstring. Their right-hand
operand shall be of type integer. The result type of these operators shall be
the same as that of the left operand.'
One change is obvious (_operations_). The use of the word operator instead of
the word
operation in the last sentence, for both 15.6 and 15.7 is debatable.
-An operation is performed using operands and an operator.
Maybe the last sentence of 15.6 and 15.7 could be changed to:
-The result type of performing the (shift | rotate) operation shall be the
same as that of the left
operand.
