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.
