The public review on ADC-2 (INCITS 441-200x) closed on Monday Sept 17th with
no comments received.
However the ANSI editor, Harvey Rosenfeld, noticed an inconsistency in the
text in section 6.1.2.4.2 (just below Table 22) that reads: "The current
speed field indicates the bit rate at which the DT device primary port is
currently operating. Table 43 defines the valid values for the current speed
field. The current speed field shall be ignored when the pic bit is set to
zero." He notes that Table 43 and its introductory text refer to the speed
field, not current speed.
Paul Entzel's recommended solution to this inconsistency is to make two
changes:
1. Change the sentence immediately before Table 43 from:
  The SPEED field contains the bit rate (see table 43) in which 
  the DT device primary port is configured to operate.
  to:
  The SPEED field contains the bit rate in which the DT device 
  primary port is configured to operate.  Table 43 defines the 
  valid values for the SPEED field.
2. Change the Table 43 title from:
  Table 43 — SPEED field
  to:
  Table 43 — Fibre Channel speed values
The INCITS Secretariat has requested that I conduct a T10 vote on this matter
to confirm that this change is non-substantive/editorial only. Please review
this change to verify that you believe it is not substantive (technical). The
T10 vote will be Thursday September 20th.
