I believe we agreed in the RIG that the Vendor Context and Vendor Specific 
control vectors would be related and order dependent.  The rules would be that 
a Vendor Context control vector would always preceed one or more Vendor 
Specific control vectors and a subsequent Vendor Context control vector would 
only be required when changing the context for subsequent Vendor Specific 
control vectors.

Dave -

    They are related and order dependent.  As I documented it, the order was:
	Vendor Contect CV, Vendor Specific CV, 
	    [Vendor Context CV, Vendor Specific CV], ...

    In other words, the Vendor Specific CV followed the Vendor Context
    CV, implying that the Vendor Specific CV values applied only when
    interoperating with a vendor identified in the Vendor Context CV.

    It probably doesn't matter, but the section I provided to Alan
    indicates the above ordering.

    Any strong opinions on changing the wording prior to dlsw015?
