Hey there,

IMHO the Target of a DoneNotification is not specific enough. The
specification states that an MC must return a DoneNotification to the
IM. It should be concretized by

If the Modality Component reaches the end of its processing, it MUST
return a DoneNotification to the IM that issued the StartRequest.

I have the impression that the current statement does not reflect that
IMs may be used as nested components within other IMs. This way, it may
be the case that a single MC may be addressed by multiple IMs at the
same time. In fact, the overall architecture will be rather a graph than
a tree. This would mean that there will not be "the IM" as it is stated
throughout the specification.
