The EDA vendor says, "I can't help you because I can't see inside the model." The model vendor says, "I can't help you because I don't own that tool." The user is left with a non-functional model. 11) What is the purpose of the specification? Describe the syntax and rules of the syntax, or tell the reader how to make models? - questions/comments/discussion?
