        Summary of Defect:
     
        Table  4.3-8  (D-START request primitive) specifies the Calling AP- 
        and  Calling AE-Invocation Identifiers as not used, but table 4.6-9 
        (Supported AARQ Parameters) shows them as optional for the sender
     
        Table  4.6-9  does  seem  inconsistent, especially since the Called 
        parameters  are  all  X  for  sending.   The Calling invocation ids 
        should be X for sending.
     
        Also, the calling AP title and calling AE qualifier should be M for 
        sending,  not  O  as currently specified, since support for Calling 
        Peer  ID  is  mandatory,  even  though it may not always be used in 
        every instance of communication.

        Proposed SARPs amendment:
     
        In Table 4.6-9, in the column (Sender, ATN Support):
     
        a) Change the entry for row 5 (Calling AP title) from O to M
     
        b) Change the entry for row 6 (Calling AE qualifier) from O to M
     
        c)  Change  the  entry for row 7 (Calling AP invocation-identifier) 
        from O to X
     
        d)  Change  the  entry for row 8 (Calling AE invocation-identifier) 
        from O to X
     
     
     
        Impact on interoperability:
     
        There   should   be   no  impact  on  interoperability.   A  strict 
        interpretation   of   Table   4.6-9  would  have  allowed  a  valid 
        implementation  to omit support for Calling AP title and calling AE 
        qualifier fields in AARQ APDUs.  However, this would then have been 
        inconsistent with 4.3.3.3.2.2.1.e).
     
     
     
        SME  Recommendation to CCB:  Progress the PDR to RESOLVED, with the 
        solution as proposed above.
