I was not involved in that decision but ....

One of the problems we are facing with the growing ibis standard is
consistency. Originally, there were some parameters, then [Model Spec]
was added. Some parameters under it are new. Some are repackaging of
some original parameters, with min and max added. Now, we have some
twice.

Why can't they all have typ,min,max? Just extend it on the same line
where it is. Since we have [Model Spec], why not move them all there? and
obsolete the ones not under [Model Spec]? Why do we need the duplication?

If all parameters were handled consistently, that would make it easier for
everyone, even if some of them have no real use.
