Arpad,

I'm glad I read the BIRD because I understand it better now. So I think
it is well worded. Comments:

1) The introduction does not mention that this BIRD affects both the
approved IBIS spec as well as another BIRD. A formality, but it should
mention that BIRD91.3 is affected.

2) Some of the lines changed in the BIRD91.3 section have nothing to do
with the new keywords. For example, this picture seems to just change
from using exclamation to pipe:

In fact, some * lines look unchanged, and only 3 lines look like they
need to change.

That's all, it's very nice.

Subject: [ibis-macro] Private copy of BIRD100.2 for rewiev

Hello everyone,

This is a private copy of BIRD100.2 for your review.
I would like to get your feedback on it before we release it publicly,
which I am hoping to do this Friday to meet the requirements for being
able to vote on it in the next IBIS Summit Teleconference.

Please send me your comments if you have any before the end of Thursday
this week.

Thanks,

Arpad
