- Detailed Documentation review

AR - Kim to send updated document to bob to post on IQ website
(included new file header)

Barry walked us through the documentation he wrote for the Component 
section of the IBIS Quality checklist.

AR - Barry to Insert IBIS keywords into document

Package parasitics should be either defined or contain NA NA NA.
Discussion about what are reasonable Values for R,L,C_pkg.
Bob Ross will attempt to lift limit values out of the parser for IQ use
otherwise authors values will be utilized.
R,L,C_PKG NA NA NA may be appropriate when an IBIS model is a library 
part and
the package type is unknown.  (NA's are legal per the IBIS spec)
Pin section is optional. Lift wording out of spec for requirements
We will not expend significant effort on external package models
because they are rarely used. If models called out the models must be 
provided.
Level 0 looks good with some minor Updates

AR - Barry to Update and provide to Bob to Post on Website

Went through Component section
If a part is a library model, IQ recommends 1 pin definition for every
model. In this case name the pin,signal name and model name consistently.
Discussed Diff pin Section
Discussed the need (particularly in MECL) to call a true and different 
compliment model.
Presently the parser does not allow this.

AR - Bob to Confirm two different model (differential true, compliment) 
calls causes an
error or warning in parser.  This should be considered an IBIS parser 
bug - all agreed.
