Richard,
The new wording you point out is only a reflection of what is already defined
in the state machines. Also, the list is not a list of requirements as there
is no shall, or should. There isn't even a may. It's just a statement of
fact.
If you are going to do that then I would have to add a statement like that to
all the other primitives that is a negative response.
That said, if Seagate wants to submit a late letter ballot comment then you
need to have one of your T10 representatives do so.

I'm not in favor of the wording of the PS_NAK section (6.2.6.12 PS_NAK) as I
don't think we should strictly limit the reasons for sending PS_NAK as this
new paragraph appears to do.
In my view, devices should have some freedom in determining whether to ACK /
NAK a power condition request once the feature is enabled on a link. The
recipient of the request may have knowledge outside of the specification in
addition to just being in "an attempt to establish a connection" that would
lead it want to NAK a request to balance the power / performance trade-off of
a particular system.
I'd suggest adding the following additional item to the list:
c) a PS_REQ is received and the request is disallowed for a vendor-specific
reason.

I have posted a new version of SPL. This version has all changes made as a
result of letter ballot marked with strikeouts and underlines. The changes
|from revision 6c to 6d are indicated by change bars.
For those of you who are interested in the phy power management should look
at:
- The PS_ACK section (6.2.6.11 PS_ACK)
- The PS_NAK section (6.2.6.12 PS_NAK)
- Section 6.11 Entering low phy power condition (Note that there is now a
PS_ACK pattern)
- In the CC and XL state machines the term PS_ACK/Idle Dwords has been
replaced with PS_ACK pattern.
