analysis names

Hi

initial_step and final_step [5.10.2] can take a list of 
"analysis_identifier"s from "ac", "noise", "tran", "dc" and unknown, and 
there is a reference to analysis [4.6.1]. 4.6.1 adds "ic", "static" and 
"nodeset", and it has an optional "analysis_list" as argument - which is 
not defined anywhere else.

It's not clear to me if "Additional analysis names can also be used as 
necessary for specific implementations" means that the extra names can 
also cause initial/final_step to return 1, or if table 5-1 is exhaustive 
and any further names will fall into the unknown category.

It would look better if initial/final_step and analysis used the same 
style for the syntax of their argument(s).

ac_stim [4.6.3] can also take an analysis_name, but there is no 
reference to analysis [4.6.1]. I think that this is an ommission.
