Thanks for clarifying.
The editor should clarify that he is willing to take it in this format.
 
Personally, I also found that including enormous amounts of material
that did not change at all made spotting the changes much more
difficult. For example, all of 36.9 (Instance) appears twice, taking
four pages, for a simple 1-line change, the addition of detail 9. I
think that is out of proportion.
 
When I or the editor looks for the change, he has to look over the
entire thing for possible changes, then double-check that he did not
miss anything. Having changes appear in both FROM and TO sections means
doubling the amount of material that needs to be visually scanned. No
wonder this proposal has 5 parts and 80 pages.
 
Regards,
Shalom

	Hi Shalom,

	 

	I've reviewed the changes that concerned you today.  What I did
in the diagrams and associated notes follows a pattern I saw in other
diagram changes in SV-CC.  The strikeouts are noted on the FROM: by me
and the desired result is noted in the TO parts.  This applies
specifically to 36.16 and 36.17, but in fact is used consistently
throughout my changes.

	 

	It makes sense in the diagrams (though I understand the
confusion it caused you) to show the composition of the final diagram,
text labels, etc. with the deletions removed and no longer taking real
estate.  I did it consistently, so I treated diagram's detail notes no
differently than its property descriptions in this respect.  36.16 is a
perfect example of that.  If that aspect is what is confusing, I am
responsible.  

	 

	[ As far as strikeouts in the version from Stu, there are a
couple of examples of strikeouts (e.g., 36.50, note 5), but nothing
relevant to the confusion. I shouldn't have mentioned it. ] 

	 

	There was a concern in the Champions minutes you raised about a
bad cross reference, p806 36.16, detail 26.  Just to let you know, that
text came from Stu's draft 5 and is entirely in green in that version.
It is identified in the margin as coming from Mantis 1684. It is an
issue, but has nothing to do with 02226.

	 

	I think Stu should allay your concerns and tell you he can deal
with 0226 as-is or indicate that we need to revise diagram details and
show the strikeouts there.  Please note that he will not be able to
ignore the diagram FROM sections.  They have to be reviewed for
strikeouts in any case. As Jim Vellenga pointed out, this has been
standard practice for SV-CC diagram edits.

	 

	Please let me know if this works.  I am only in the office
tomorrow, so any editorial changes would most likely wait until Monday.

	 

	Regards, John

	John,

	 

	Can you give an example of strikeouts that were in the version
you

	received from Stu, i.e., not part of the proposal? Are any of
them red,

	or are they other colors?

	 

	If all red strikeouts are part of the proposal, I guess I can
handle it,

	but the editor will need to say that he is willing to accept a
proposal

	where both the FROM and TO parts of changes he needs to
implement.

	 

	Regards,

	Shalom
