Arpad:
Yes, even though unrelated, that is an editorial correction we missed in the 4.1 release.
This type of change falls under the loose category of editorial discretion regarding editorial errors, punctuation, spelling, inconsistencies, etc. and we would make the change without any BIRD. But since you "touch" this area, you should just clean it up to ease the process. (a_gnd and a_extref is syntactically incorrect and would be flagged as a parser error.)

Bob,
I agree, but I didn't think that changing "!" to "|" would be controversial... I could see that changing "a_gnd", etc... to "A_gnd", etc... might result in discussion...
So do you want me o change those too, or leave them as is?

Arpad:
The only caution is that minor changes should be pointed out. One quick editorial change is to replace a_gnd and a_extref with A_gnd and A_extref, if it is not too late.
However, there is always a risk that a minor editorial change is controversial.

Thanks Mike for your comments.
1) I will add something in the introduction to mention the change to BIRD91.3
2) I know about that, and I was hoping to slip in an editorial by doing this to make the drawings more consistent... However, since their caption is changing, I thought I could just grab the pictures too and take care of everything all at once.
Do you or anyone else object to this?
Thanks,

Arpad,
I'm glad I read the BIRD because I understand it better now. So I think it is well worded. Comments:
1) The introduction does not mention that this BIRD affects both the approved IBIS spec as well as another BIRD. A formality, but it should mention that BIRD91.3 is affected.
2) Some of the lines changed in the BIRD91.3 section have nothing to do with the new keywords. For example, this picture seems to just change from using exclamation to pipe:

In fact, some * lines look unchanged, and only 3 lines look like they need to change.
That's all, it's very nice.

Hello everyone,
This is a private copy of BIRD100.2 for your review. I would like to get your feedback on it before we release it publicly, which I am hoping to do this Friday to meet the requirements for being able to vote on it in the next IBIS Summit Teleconference.
Please send me your comments if you have any before the end of Thursday this week.
Thanks,
