Hi Kevin,
 
One of our engineers has raised a question about T10/05-262r3 - SPC-4/SSC-3: ASC/ASCQ for Medium Thread Failure.  It turns out that our technology can fail a thread operation both for a dropped leader and for various other reasons.
 
05-262 speaks of dropped leaders and related issues (miss pick, buckle failure).  We're not sure if you intend the new ASC/ASCQ for use only with these failure modes or for use with any failure that occurs during a thread operation.
 
Could you please provide clarification.
 
Many thanks,
