    Problem Text
    Corrigendum C438/U008 for the X/Open Networking Services Issue 4
    was issued by X/Open Publications in March 1995, and is available
    from the X/Open info-server. It contains two changes:

    1. Delete the requirement for certain specified symbolic constants
    to have mandatory values; instead, designate these values
    as ``recommended only''.

    2. Add a new question to the XTI CSQ, to ask for those ``recommended
    values'' which have been implemented to be identified.

    For completeness, the list of constants for which values are changed
    from mandatory to recommended are:

    General definitions for option management

    Also for completeness, the proposed change to the XTI Version 2 CSQ
    is to add a further question to the end of the CSQ, after "Optional
    Support for Protocols or Protocol Profiles". The troff-encoded text
    for this is recommended as follows:

    .H 2 "Recommended XTI Header Values Implemented"
    \f4Question 13: Does your implementation use all the
    recommended values identified in the XTI specification
    as "recommended only, not mandatory for conformance"?\fP
    .DS I
    .\" ANSWER "YES" OR "NO" ON THE LINE BELOW
    Yes/No
    .DE
    .DS I F
    If "No", list all those which deviate from the
    recommended values. If necessary, use a separate sheet.
    .\" LIST ALL THOSE WHICH ARE DIFFERENT, AND GIVE THE
    .\" ACTUAL VALUE USED.
    Rationale:
    .DE
    .DS I F
    An XTI transport provider does not have to implement
    these recommended values in order to be compliant.
    However, it is valuable to know this so that users
    can easily check whether an XTI application which
    relies on these values will be portable to this XTI
    implementation: if the answer is "Yes" then such
    an XTI application will be portable to this
    implementation; if "No" then it will not.
    .DE
    .P
    Reference:
    .DS I F
    X/Open Corrigendum U008 to Networking Services Issue 4
    (X/Open Document Number C438). This Corrigendum revises
    Networking Services Appendix F "XTI Headers and
    Definitions" to define certain values assigned to
    constants as "recommended, not mandatory."
