Changhai,

Thanx for the comments. I have, still, to go through most of them.

However, I have worked on one of your main complaints, that is, the 
semantics of condition formulas.

As you suggested, I reworked the wording so that the specification based 
on pattern matching could be moved first,; making the model-theoretic 
specification the alternativespecification (instead of the reverse). I 
explicited in the introduction of the section [1] that the two definitions 
are effectively equivalent and that the reader need not read both (but 
that they are equally normative). I also improved (or so I hope) the 
explanation why they are equivalent, at the end of the model-theoretic 
specification.

Of the alternative that we discussed, I implemented the most radical one, 
which is to move the model-theoretic specification to an appendix [2]. It 
will be very easy to move it back, if the consensus is that the 
alternative specifications should rather be next to each other in the main 
text.

The benefit of having one of the alternatives in an appendix is that it 
makes the document clearer and less cluttered.

I did not look, yet, at the other comments.

Cheers,

Christian

Chris and all, 

I have already provided my first version of PRD review to CSMA, but here 
it is (in word track changes): 



I'd like to read pages 30-35 in more details in the next days, if it's not 
too late (I have passed on them quickly). 

PS: My reviews were Core and PRD. 

Changhai

Changhai,

We *really* need the PRD review by the telecon tomorrow.  At this stage we 
only 
have one review (from Harold).  Looks like Jos will not be able to provide 
one 
in time.

I will review DTB tonite, to ensure we have 2 reviews there, but I won't 
be able 
to do PRD also.

-Chris
