Hi, Bob and Arpad; Thank you for your reply. I think at least the answer to question 1 should be YES. Otherwise 5.0 model will break if 5.1 parser is used.

I remember talking about ***ignoring*** Format in under the new rules. I am just not sure whether this includes the data that follows it or not... Walter, could you explain please?

The BIRD at hand was how to document just the AMI material (without carrying the legacy terms such as Format). How the old material is still documented is still to be resolved.
