Comments on slides:

Slide 2:
Legal <data format> selections also include
Gaussian, Dual-Dirac, and DjRj.  The corresponding
<data> is a data-list of 2 or 3 variables.  However, we
have excluded Default for these cases because there
is no <typ> or single value.

The operation of Default becomes clearer from pending BIRD140.2:

|*** For AMI parameter type 'Range', 'Increment' and 'Steps' <min value>,
|*** <max value> does not imply slow and fast corners, and the user may
|*** select any value provided by these parameters regardless of what
|*** corner is used for the simulation.  If the user does not make a
|*** selection for parameter types 'Range', 'List', 'Increment' and
|*** 'Steps', the EDA tool shall automatically use the value defined by
|*** Default, if it exists, or the <typ value> otherwise (regardless of
|*** what corner is used for the simulation).

What this means is that for all Usage selections, if Default is specified,
it
replaces the <typ> value.   All rules still apply.   In all cases, including
List,
a <typ> value is the first entry in the set of values.  For Value/Default,
the
Default is used instead of Value.

With this interpretation, all of the questions regarding what value
are clear in the remaining slides.  As long as a Format is allowed, the
Default rule is consistent for all Usage values.
