RE: [sv-cc] Read API

Bassam and Ghassan, thank you for putting the list together.
 
A few thoughts:
 
-- I'm sure the champions aren't going to accept a resolution
of these issues unless the section numbers are updated.  It
would be helpful for the rest of us too.  Could you guys
do us the favor of updating the section numbers in the titles
and descriptions?
 
-- Although you list 572 as having a proposal posted (and
that is, strictly speaking, correct), the proposal needs
to be updated for Draft 4 and the section numbers and
bullet letters (rather than numbers) that Draft 4 uses.
 
-- If we do make 588 a duplicate of 572, we will have to
update the proposal for 572 to include the additional section.
 
-- I am reluctant to move the new routine descriptions into
Clause 37, as you suggest in your proposed proposal for Item
593.  As far as I can tell, this is really a separate layer
of API built on top of the rest of VPI, and it would seem
clearer to keep its description separate. 
 
-- A couple of places your proposed proposal says "Editor
should ..." or "Ask editor to ...".  If you're saying we
don't need a concrete and detailed written proposal for
these, do you really think that will get past the Champions?
 
-- I don't see how 589 is really a duplicate of 572.  It seems
like an unrelated issue.
 
Regards,
Jim V.
