All,
Per the request, I have attached the concerns related to BIRD186 and also
provided some suggested revisions. Because of IBIS evolution based on
existing file name rules, many sections of IBIS need updating in these
areas:
Remove some conflicting hard-coded "same-directory" language in the document
Consistently use extension to mean the text after the last dot (IBIS
versions are not consistent here)
Clarify that file names including the reserved extension can contain lower
and upper case text
Suggest restoring basename and path as part of the file name definition -
useful later
Suggest adding a document naming convention statement that would, for
example define "file type .ibs", ".ibs file" or "IBS file" as the same file
Fine tune some details (files with no extension or just a "." are legal, no
"/" in extensions, including .ims as a reserved extension, etc.
Because of their interrelationships with BIRD186, the proposed changes
should be included in BIRD186.
