When you are defining locations in a child container, wouldn't absolute/relative bit positions be limited to the child container? The parent container, when it locates the child would then use its own base as the zero-bit reference. -----Original Message----- From: Overeem, David T [ mailto:david.t.overeem@boeing.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2012 1:33 AM To: space@omg.org Subject: RE: any thoughts on Thanx Kevin!

So you are building one entry list from the base container(s) plus the child container. Then process that whole thing if you need to calculate the addresses and so forth. ________________________________________ From: Overeem, David T [david.t.overeem@boeing.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2012 12:10 AM To: space@omg.org Subject: any thoughts on Hi folks. I have been browsing through the official spec and the schema and am still left with a question. When I specify the container location for a parameter in a AND that container has a , does the zero bit reside in the base (parent) container or the child container being specified? Seems like a significant detail that ought to be in an annotation.
