    I aggree with Shimura-san, I got the page numbers mixed up in
    my notes and did not double check them.
    As for the csr_offset vs mar_offset name I think mar is more
    descriptive though it may not be worth an editorial change.

    Hello, Alan and others,

    Though I may be misunderstanding Alan's point, I think these two
    values in the P1394.3 Draft 1.1 are consistent with P1212 definition.

      Quote from page 32 of the P1212 Draft 1.0
        <<For directory entries that specify a relative offset within
          configuration ROM, the directory or leaf address within units
          space shall be calculated by adding 4 * value to the address
          of the entry itself.>>

    By above definition, I guess,
      Page 66: "keyword leaf offset(2)" in Figure F-4 should be "(3)"
      Page 69: "keyword leaf offset(5)" in Figure F-7 should be "(6)"
      Page 67: better to denote "keyword leaf offset" with "(4)".

    > > 3) Page Various: csr_offset

    I think the "csr_offset"(in page 65 and 66) is explaining that the
    "type" field of this entry (most significant two bits) is "1"(CSR
    offset) and the "value" field is specifying the offset "relative to
    FFFF F000 0000(16)". I see no problem with current description in
    the P1394.3.
