The [Model Spec] Vinh/l subparamters allow you to specify min
and max values that may change with [Voltage Range] or some
other reference voltage. PECL technology is an example
where this would be important. Vinh/l subparameter of
[Model] only allows fixed values over the entire range.

The [Model Spec] values always override the [Model]
subparameter specification.

Some technologies add some functional details to
the buffer. The [Add Submodel] and [Submodel]
keywords provide a way to "add" on some detail
that is of practical interest.
