It is true that fundamentally local variables in different functions or state machines can have the same name; however, it would be helpful to the user if the names of different variables were different. For example, this would facilitate searching for all instances of a variable.
If we do rename variables so that variables in different functions or state machines have different names, how should we pick the new names (e.g., append the numbers 1, 2, … to each name that is a different variable?). Also, should this change go in the corrigendum or in 802.1ASbt (since it actually is not fixing something that is incorrect; rather, it is improving the document)?
Technical review – is this appropriate for .1ASbt?

This is actually not fixing something that is incorrect; rather, it is improving the document, so it belongs in .1ASbt
However, the practice in 802.1 is to use unique names even for local variables. As a result, it is recommended to implement this improvement in .1ASbt

An initial .1ASbt draft is available. However, as this is a significant change, the editor will do this last – perhaps in the next draft.

The editor is in process of implementing in collaboration with IEEE 1588 (that is in process of a revision) to get some alignment in the naming of terms. This process has identified a number of additional issues that the editor is in process of resolving as well. |
