However, in our experience these frequently seem circular and unhelpful. A separate section providing definitions for terms in this specification, especially to those definitions which are particular to this specification, would greatly aid in the understandability of this document, especially for persons not yet intimate with the specification. 52260 1 annevk 2011-08-03 21:32:35 +0000 Could you provide some examples of circular definitions? I believe there are over a thousand terms defined at this point. Listing them all would get somewhat unwieldy. 52439 2 mike 2011-08-04 05:01:31 +0000 mass-moved component to LC1 54310 3 ian 2011-08-06 07:25:42 +0000 Not to mention that some of the definitions are rather complicated and require entire chapters to explain. 60223 4 mike 2011-11-20 17:30:58 +0000 Janina, this bug is waiting on your response to comment #1: > Could you provide some examples of circular definitions?
