Just pointing out that there is either a typo in 07-295r1 or something is missing.

T10 approved 07-295r1 (r0 as revised), and the specific revision to be made is the addition a web address for and description of the TrustedFlash Forum. As of this writing, 07-295r1 has not been posted to the T10 web site. May I recommend watching the T10 web site for its posting. Please forgive my impertinence for attempting to guess the next question in advance, but ... As SPC-4 editor, my policy is to not incorporate proposals until the approved revision has been posted to the T10 web site. All the best, .Ralph David Geddes wrote: * From the T10 Reflector (t10@t10.org), posted by: * "David Geddes" <dgeddes@marvell.com> <mailto:dgeddes@marvell.com> * Brian, Proposal T10/07-295r0 assigns a new value, EDh, to the Security_Protocol field in the SECURITY PROTOCOL IN command. According to the proposal, the meaning of this field is defined by the "TrustedFlash Forum". I have not been able to locate or identify an entity that goes by the name of "TrustedFlash Fourm". Furthermore, the proposal, T10/07-295r0 was voted on and approved at the July '07 T10 meeting. Therefore, it appears that T10 has granted a unique value to the Security_Protocol field in the SECURITY PROTOCOL IN command to an entity that does not exist. Can someone please clarify this for me?
