<p class="MsoNormal">Some amendments (or at least non-substantive changes) to a specification would be difficult to show (once I was asked to change the line spacing, for example, and I don\u2019t know how you would show that formatting change with the usual markings;
another example might be paragraph numbering changes, which I believe I\u2019ve read somewhere don\u2019t always need to be shown and are blown out later anyways). Other, more standard amendments would be easy to show. Could they be asking for more than one type of
amendment and simply noting that not every category of amendment need be marked?<o:p></o:p></p>
