3.3Discussion on 07/2825r3

•Bruce indicated that the document header has to be fixed for both submissions. Evident when printed, but not when viewed on the computer. Will be fixed in the next revision of the document.

•CID 5262 (previously deferred CID)

–Hongyuan noted that instead of “Qk = I“ we can write “direct mapping”. After more thinking about this I agree with Hongyuan and will make this change for the next revision of the document.
