317	"clarification of SDRS section 5.3.4 ""Configuration Files"""	jhoblitt	jhoblitt	"- How are NULL, NAN, or INF values declared?  I have a particular need for NULL
values.

- Are ""multiple symbols"" values required to all be of the same type (the SDRS
doesn't state one way or the other)?  Is each declaration for a ""multiple
symbol"" intended to be a separate psMetadataItem with the same name or a nested
psMetadata structure?

- Are all statements terminated by a new line or are they allowed to span
multiple lines (spanning multiple lines causes trouble with the comment line
syntax)?  Is '\n' the only valid new line or is '\r\n' supported?

- I assume that only ASCII is supported but it would be nice if this was noted.

- Can 'METADATA's be nested?  e.g.
--
CELL METADATA
   ...
   OTKERNEL METADATA
       ...
   END
   ...
END
--

- Is both the 'TYPE' syntax and the 'METADATA' syntax required?  Both result in
the same datastrucutre.

- Are complex type constants going to be required?

- The grammar in appendix A supports all of C99's constant declarations but many
of these are redundant because the type information is avaiable.  Is it possible
to (at least for now) to reduced this to some subset (do we really need octal
constants?)?"	defect	closed	high		IPP SDRS	unspecified	normal	fixed	IPP-doc
