I think we have a little bit of redundancy with using both "expected" and "required". How about "data format or values required by...". I don't think we have consensus yet on using web site vs. delivery unit vs. Web site so I've included both So then we have: input error: any information provided by the user that is not accepted by the Web site/delivery unit. This includes: 1. information that is required by the Web site/delivery unit but omitted by the user. 2. information that is provided by the user but that falls outside the data format or values required by the Web site/delivery unit. Do we even have to say "by anything"? Could we just say input error: any information provided by the user that is not accepted. This includes: 1. information that is required but omitted by the user. 2. information that is provided by the user but that falls outside the required data format or values.

Also, I'm not sure I understand what "content parameters" means. Would "expected values" work instead? (Forgive me if this is something Team C has gone 'round and 'round about...)
