No patents were declared.  Minutes from Aug. 10 were approved.

The team reviewed the Section 10 reformatting provided by Lou Church of
TechAmerica.  Walter Katz pointed out that the section and sub-section
headers mix upper/lower cases and styles throughout the document.
Bob Ross asked whether using sub-section numbers in Section 10 would
be useful elsewhere in the document, or should be maintained only in
Section 10.

Walter proposed that the AMI-related text forms several logical documents:
- DLL programmers’ reference
- Language reference
- Reserved parameters listing

Walter added also that examples in Section 10 should not use the | character.

Arpad Muranyi suggested that double-spacing be used on paragraph separations and
that indentations be used for subsections.  Courier New is acceptable for
examples.  Five levels of sub-section numbers are used in all.  Arguments
to DLLs should use italics or different fonts, for clarity.

Randy Wolff also noted font size differences between sections.  Bob suggested
Arial 14 for the top-level headers.  Lou will be asked to update section 10
(or section 6C?) after meeting with us.

Michael Mirmak reviewed the version 1.1 list of BIRDs and IBIS versions.  Highlighting
will be fixed in the next release, with BIRD111.3’s status regarding the parser
to be updated to “no”.  BIRD127.1 will be updated to “Pending”, with BIRD127.2 
expected shortly.  BIRD132 will be updated to note approval on August 5.

Michael Mirmak will post Bob Ross’s documents on Section 6C to the website
(Bob will resend it to the reflector).
