Walter,
I agree that we need to do something for the Dependency Table
to make it work. I see in your BIRD 124.1 draft that you define
several predefined AMI parameters and one of them is "[Corner]":
"[Corner]" is a predefined AMI parameter of Type Corner that can be used
to create an input column in a Dependency Table. Its column shall have
Type Corner. Its allowed values are Typ, Slow and Fast.
This is perfectly OK (aside from the question of perhaps using
a better name for it to avoid confusions with "Format Corner").
What I was picking on was that you defined this predefined
parameter as "Type Corner" in your BIRD draft, which is incorrect,
because there is no such Type currently in the spec. If this
can only be done through a "Type Corner", your BIRD has to define
that new "Type" (which I don't see in your BIRD yet).
Thanks,
Arpad

Arpad,
If we want to allow [Corner] (and I think this is useful) as a special
Dependency Independent variable, then we would need to add a new Type
Corner.

Walter,
Strictly speaking no, talking about "Type Corner" is not correct.
The 5.0 specification only defines the following types on pg. 140:
Also, "Corner" is defined as "Format":
If you want to call "Corner" a "Type", we will have to define it as
such. If Bob's Table syntax BIRD uses the word "Type" incorrectly,
we will need to change that BIRD draft too. But as far as I can tell,
Bob's BIRD draft is correct, because the point there is to allow
one or more Types (Float, Integer, String, Boolean, UI) for the
columns of the table. Please let me know if I am missing something...
Thanks,
Arpad

Arpad,
Interesting point, but I do think that Type Corner is correct, although
a better explanation will be required. The new Table syntax says that
one needs a Type for each column. This is a special case that we can
discuss. The alternative is to make the user do something like:
(My_Corner (Corner "typ" "min" "max") (Type String) (Usage Info)
(Description "Parameter to be used in Dependency Tables"))
The Dependency Table would have a column "My_Corner In", instead of
[Corner]. I can live with either method.

Walter,
I was working on something else, but I looked in this BIRD
draft and noticed something I you need to correct.
There is no such thing as "Type Corner". You mentioned that
twice. There is "Format Corner" only...
Thanks,
Arpad

All,
I have updated BIRD124 to use format Table. This is a clear improvement
in the syntax.
