As part of the technical cleanup and I would add at the beginning
Under RESERVED WORD RULES
Type <data_type>
A special extension for the <data_format> selection of Table
is discussed later where <data_type> can be a single selection or
a set of selections, one for each column of the Table.
or
Per Note 9) above, some additional rules apply when Type <data_type>
is used with <data_format> Table, and this is discussed in more detail
later.

Michael:
Exactly, and we need to document the fixed structure as the
special rule in the Usage Rules that describe the only allowable
Table arrangements as (you rewrite it):
For Format Table, only 3 columns are allowed and are documented
and correspond to row number, Time and probability. The allowable
Types for Table are (Type Integer Float Float) or (Type Integer UI Float)
where the time column can be expressed as in time units or in UI units.
(For legacy reasons, I would still support (Type Float) where all entries
are float since row is a subset of float. That is what is documented in
V5.0. If someone wants Type UI as implied but never restricted in V5.0
than I would state the this could be interpreted at the second choice
above, but is discouraged.
----
ALSO, for these two reserved parameters, the Usage Rules Statement you
inserted for each of these parameters should be amended so that
. Except for special Table rules, ... (because not everything is UI or
float
in Tables.)

Subject: [ibis-editorial] Table format for Tx_Jitter and Rx_Clock_PDF as
Reserved Parameters
Is the Table format for the jitter Reserved Parameters Tx_Jitter and
Rx_Clock_PDF assumed to be *always* organized as shown in the examples
given? For example, in Tx_Jitter, Table is organized as:
Row Time Probability
. where Row is an integer, Time is a float in seconds and Probability is a
float without units.
We *do* state that, "If Table is used for a Reserved Parameter, the rules
for the number of columns and their meaning are described in the
Reserved_Parameters section."
However, the arrangement is never actually stated, but only shown in the
examples.
