RE: Note on Rev

Hi Scott:

  The reason for the column 1 requirement lies in the arbitrary length of
the [Notes] field. As IBIS is defined, (implicitly by the golden parser in
Ver 3.2, explicitly in IBIS-X), the [Notes] field ends when the next keyword
is encountered. However, a real life case arose in which a keyword was used
*within* the note. The parser encountered it, ended the [Notes] section,
and subsequently bombed on the remaining notes text. The fix was to
recognize [...] as keyword only when the opening bracket was in column 1.
As I mentioned, this rule was formalized in IBIS-X (which is where the
General Syntax Rules and Guidelines in the connector spec came from).

All,

I see no reason why on page 3 of the document the following
is a requirement:

3) Keywords must be enclosed in square brackets, [ ] , and must start in
column 1
of the line.

The column 1 requirement seems a bit antiquated to me.

regards,

scott
