Yes to Jerome's proposal

Yes to including language in the LRM to require/recommend initializing all fields to know values.

Subject: Jerome's proposal - RESET

Folks,

Since I think I've caused some confusion, let me reset.

I think we have a good understanding of Jerome's proposal re. byte enables, streaming width, and response status for DMI and Debug.

So please vote on the following 2 + 2 options

"No" - no change

"Yes" - make the changes as proposed by Jerome

If "yes", should the LRM wording take the form of a strong recommendation that all models going forward should be written with the proposed changes in mind, and existing models re-written over time? (I am thinking about minimizing compatibility issues going forward by having all components initialize the byte enable, streaming, and response status fields for DMI and Debug and only using those fields ways compatible with the new intent) YES or NO.

Thanks

John A
