Hi, AMI experts;

In the current AMI_Resolve API BIRD (155.1) we require that only usage In 
parameters are included in the input parameters string to the AMI_Resolve 
function as independent variables. At the last AMI meeting we had talked about 
whether InOut parameters should also be included. I'd like to collect your 
feedback on this topic. If you have a preference, please share your reasons. 
Below are the reasons I can see for a yes or no answer.

Reason to not include:

-          Eliminates the possibility of AMI_Init modifying input parameters 
(independent variables) to AMI_Resolve after it's been called.

Reason to include:

-          AMI_Resolve and AMI_Init have identical input parameter strings

Thanks,
Fangyi
