Question on type Enumerator!



Dear All,

while going through the present .21 spec, a question poped up
which I would like to clarify in this group.

We have defined at different places "Enumerated" types. In this
case we SHOULD also define Integer Values for them properly in
a standard in order to guarantee an apropriate protocol exchange
at MIHF level.

Example: We have on page 90, line 15 enumerated list for
result code with success, failure and rejected.

It can be possible that one starts these values from
0 and the other from 1, i.e.

0: success, 1: failure, 2: rejected   OR
1: success, 2: failure, 3: rejected

So, while exchange the MIHF protocol, there will be misunderstanding
between .21 capable entities from different vendors.

I would advice to define ONE interpretaion for enumerated values
throughout the standard.


Regards,
Kalyan
