<p class=MsoNormal>Season’s greetings, AMS fans. Tim has pointed
out a couple of errors in the RAMS procedures (in 4.4.5 item 2 and 4.4.7.5),
which I have corrected in the newest version of the spec that I uploaded to CWE
a couple of minutes ago – “markup7”. Also, Pat
uncovered some ambiguity in section 5.1.5.7, which I hope is now corrected.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>More substantial than either of these, though, is an error
in the structure of several MAMS “Supplementary Data” structures:
when I was revising to change continuum number from 24 bits to 15 bits (because
it has to be able to fit into a 16-bit subject as a negative number), I
modified the RAMS message definitions but missed the Assertion and Cancellation
structures for subscriptions and invitations. I have now changed
continuum number in all four of these guys (5.1.5.10, 5.1.5.11, 5.1.5.17,
5.1.5.18) from 24 bits to 15 bits plus one high-order filler bit for octet
alignment. Anybody see any problem with this?<o:p></o:p></p>
