Hi Bob,
I just want to remind everyone that we agreed in Osaka not to update the
Q.931 cross-references, but instead to revert the parent reference to
Q.931 (1993) so we (I) wouldn't have to update and verify all of the
table references, etc.
However, when I was about to make that change, I noticed that there were
references to 1998 versions of other standards (Q.932, Q.850) also, and
I was concerned that these other standards might reference the 1998
version of Q.931, so we would have a synchronization problem of another
kind. That's why I didn't make the change, and noted this as an open
issue.
I also have some concern about referencing a standard that is no longer
published.
My preference would be to leave the parent reference as Q.931 (1998) and
update the semi-infinite number of cross-references.
I agree the inconsistency has to be corrected. BTW, this also existed
in v2.
