How is this request list managed? In a different document, or in the specification itself? Do you have an example please?

Is it really every request during the whole development since the first WD that needs to be listed and explained? (Why it was delayed/denied?) Otherwise, I have a lot to do for Filter Effects :P

I assume, comments and request that made it into the spec don’t need to be listed.

You mentioned somewhere that the test plan could be valuable information that is mentioned as well during the CR period. Is it in the same document as the comments and feature requests?
