Some question areas are highlighted. The subunit section is largely as extracted from the Scanner spec, but with additional information on subunits not in the scan service.  This information is still incomplete in several places. Note that the subunit section  has largely replaced text paragraphs with tables. The schema diagrams from the Scan Service document are included, although I am not sure that that is necessary. If it is, additional schema sections for subunits not addressed in the scan spec will be needed.<o:p></o:p> <![if !supportLists]>2.       <![endif]>Chapter 3 reflects a reorganization of operation, state and transition material that was distributed at various places in the Scan Service document into one section. This reflects the major change in the document from the last version. The intent was to provide a higher level understanding of the models and how they operated before we got into the nitty-gritty of elements description. Again, I have put in more tables, and have taken some liberties with the Scan Service document text in an attempt to provide a consistent view. There are some question areas highlighted.<o:p></o:p> <![if !supportLists]>3.       <![endif]>Chapter 4 contains the elements descriptions. Although I have not completed this in all areas, I have converted element description  text to tables. I need some feedback  as to whether this works.  There are still holes, particularly in elements in the schema that were not covered in the scan service document.<o:p></o:p> Many  thanks,<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Bill Wagner<o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html>
