Bob,

I think the problem is that a leaf contains different
things in the .ami file and the AMI_parameters_in string.
In the .ami file, it contains those reserved words, but
in the parameter string it contains the parameter name.

We can talk more about this in the meeting.

Thanks,

Arpad

Arpad:

Changes look good:

Here is my "leaf" issue on page 4 that I found confusing.

Based on the reference to Section 10, and specifically page 187,
a leaf is defined as:

<leaf>:
   ( <parameter name> whitespace <value list> )

On page 4 of this draft:

All "leaves" of the .ami file must begin with one of the following
reserved words:

    Type
    Usage
    ....

Technically a "leaf_name" would be a parameter name and not the
reserved word according to Section 10 definition.

So perhaps the wording should be ...

"All "AMI parameters" must begin with the parameter name followed
by one of the following reserved words:

     Type
     Usage
     ....

Later it is stated, "Multiple leaves containing the same reserved word
are not allowed within an AMI Parameter branch."

This could be modified to

"Reserved words shall not be repeated within an AMI Parameter branch."

Bob
