I noticed what I think is a typo in sas21-r02.pdf  19May2009. 
pg 125.  5.8.4.6.1  Table 29.  Note g.
"RJ is 14 times the RJ 1 sigma value, based on a BER of 1e-12.	For 
simulations based on a BER of 1e-15, the RJ specified is 17 times the RJ 1 
 sigma value."
I believe it should be "... on a BER of 1e-15, the RJ specified is 15.88 
times the RJ 1	sigma value."
I think it should be 15.88 rather than 17.
Here is a link to one document that shows the Multipliers for different 
BER values.  See pg 3.

  BER-12	14.069
  BER-15	15.883
