    Hi Bill and Pete.

    Bill - I like all of your new text.

    However, there are two serious problems in existing text:

    (1) Second paragraph at line line 5 of page 2 is just wrong

    It is a StartupScanService operation (spelled that way) sent
    to a System (NOT a ScanService) that creates a new instance
    of a ScanService in the Initial phase, causes self-test, and finally
    transition to Online phase / Idle state. The ScanService itself
    does NOT perform a start-up operation (line 7). It is handling
    the single E.startup *event* sent to it by the System (while in
    in the Initial phase / Unknown state).

    If we keep it, a RestartScanService operation could be sent
    to a ScanService (to recover from a Shutdown to Offline
    phase / Down state). See the notes on lines 1628 to 1639
    on pages 66 and 67 of lcrc-mfdscanmodel10-20090119.pdf

    (2) Recurring problem of reading the terms in state tables

    The notation key in the Scan Service spec for the state table
    is at line 1618 page 66 in lcrc-mfdscanmodel10-20090119.pdf

    For example at line 12 in page 2 of your draft, we see:

       "...either a C.Critical event is generated"

    The expression "C.Critical" means a *passive* Condition (C)
    (i.e., a ScanService.StateReasons value) is TRUE that a Critical
    alert is now pending. While, the expression "~C.Critical" means
    that any NOT (~) Critical Condition is now pending.

    The expression "E.Critical" means that an *active* Event (E)
    that is Critical has just occurred. Conversely "~E.Critical" means
    that any non-Critical (i.e., warning) event has just occurred.

    So "C.Critical event" is confused.

    Cheers,
    - Ira
