Thanks for listening, thanks for asking.
 
I slowly came to believe I understood the new questions only after walking myself thru the following Three part answer:
 
1) I do think we should enforce an editorial policy of spelling the word "timeout" in the same way everywhere, since I believe none of my free .pdf viewers can be asked to search for multiple spellings simultaneously.  I don't much care whether the blessed spelling is "timeout" or "time-out" or "time out" or whatever.  I am as yet too ignorant to know where I would find such a policy documented.  I do actually see multiple spellings appear in the "7.8 Time-out and Protect Page (Page Code 1Dh)" of mmc4r02.pdf, even within single sentences.
 
2) To my ignorant eye, the link to the time-out model remains broken.  Specifically in mmc4r02.pdf I see:
 
"See the Time-out model for more information on the Group 1 & 2 Minimum Time-out fields and Group
3 Time out field."
 
What I don't know how to do is to find "the Time-out model".  In mmc4r01g.pdf I am utterly lost.  In mmc4r02.pdf I presume we mean "4.9 Timeouts" of "4 Multi-Media Device Models".
 
Maybe by now "broken" is too strong a word.  Maybe only the mmc4r01g link was broken, and the mmc4r02 link is "weak".  A quick glance now shows me we do often point a use of the word "see" to something specific, for example "See Table 588" or "(see 13.18.4, on page 352)" or ....  I like that policy.
 
3) I personally have not reviewed mmc4*.pdf in detail, so I have no idea how few/ how many other typographical issues may abound.
 
Thanks again for clueing me in, Pat LaVarre

Hi Pat,
You can see "4.9  Timeouts" section instead of "Time-out".
It is editorial mistake. Do you find others?
If you so, let MMC WG know.

Thanks.  There was no link.  Within the next 2-3 weeks, Rev 2A will have the link.

Among other words, I see: 
http://www.t10.org/scsi-3.htm 
ftp://ftp.t10.org/t10/drafts/mmc4/mmc4r02.pdf 
"7.8 Time-out and Protect Page (Page Code 1Dh)" 
... 
"See the Time-out model" 
  
At least in my ignorance, that link appears broken in ANSI MMC, though the same text works fine in: 
http://www.bswd.com/cornucop.htm 
ftp://ftp.avc-pioneer.com/Mtfuji5/Spec/Fuji5r148.pdf 
I'm curious to know if that link appears broken to the less ignorant, hence this post of mine.
