H.248 Annex C Codepoint Information

[John Segers]

Hi,

I was going to say the same thing as Christian (but strange telephone
sockets in the UK kept me from doing so): if a reference is provided,
the values listed in the value column serve as examples only; normative
text is in the references as indicated at the start of the annex.

The second point Christian mentioned is an interesting one.  Is the idea
that if one defines a package for which there is already an annex C
codepoint, the package would just refer to that instead of defining a
new codepoint?  If that is the intention, we'd better give annex C a
package name...

Cheers,

John
