Terminology

The terminology used in this CR should conform to the "Rules for the structure and drafting of International Standards", 5th Edition, 2005 available at:

http://isotc.iso.org/livelink/livelink.exe/fetch/2000/2122/3146825/4229629/4230450/4230456/ISO_IEC_Directives__Part_2__Rules_for_the_structure_and_drafting_of_International_Standards__2004__5th_edition___pdf_format_.pdf?nodeid=4230517&vernum=0

Particular attention shall be paid to Annex H which lays out guidelines for the expression of provisions.

Background/Rationale (Explanation of the background and reason(s) for the requested change, and supporting documentation):

Many implementers complain that reading specifications which are written in plain black and white colors with boring fonts leads to poor interoperability.  Many times implementers have either fallen asleep and their workstations, become excessively cranky, become extreme process weenies or unnecessarily argumentative over minor details which don’t matter or in the most tragic cases switched from Emacs to Vi. 

In order to alleviate these terrible problems, the specification should be changed to use more exciting colors and fonts. 

Requested Change (Change information such as details before/after the change, readable/indented MOF, and/or references to "Uploaded" MOF and other documents if the changes are too lengthy to include inline):

Section(s): All

Change from:  black boring fonts

To: fancy fonts with curly lines and vibrant colors, blinking at a rate of no more than 1/hz

Discussion Points (Summary of decisions and discussions of the WG in creating this CR) :

Epileptic Seizures

When using a very high blink rate, some engineers are prone to epileptic seizures.  To avoid this, a blink rate of no more than 1/hz, or one blink per second is to be used.

Change History (Mandatory after submission to the TC, May be used by the WGs):
