Definion of Formal Technical Constructs for convention section



Yves,
Some time ago we agree to capitalize the initial letters of the names of 
formal technical constructs such as Recording Buffer, Transfer Buffer, and 
Release Timer in the CSTS SFW to indicate that they have a special formal 
meaning. During my review of the (simple) Data Processing and Buffered 
Data Processing procedures I identified two terms (input queue and latency 
timer) that I thought should be treated the same, but Martin G rightfully 
pointed out that there is no written convention in the book. I took the 
action to provide you with such a typographical convention for inclusion 
in section 1.6.3.3. The difficulty with coming up with such a convention 
is in deciding what to call it and how to characterize it. ?normative 
mechanisms and data structures? is awkward, but I can?t think of a better 
name. If anyone in the WG has a suggestion please let us hear it. In any 
case, here?s the convention description:
 
1.6.3.3.9  Normative Mechanism and Data Structure Names
The names of normative mechanisms and data structures appear with initial 
capital letters (e.g., Recording Buffer, Transfer Buffer, Release Timer). 
Such mechanisms and data structures have defined roles in the functioning 
of operations and procedures.
 
Best regards,
John
