Is it really smart to have an either or definition here. Isn't it better to have a single definition. I understand that there are a timing aspect here. But, wouldn't it be clearer to define this to be either largest fully received object, or largest that has started to be received, and not make it either or.

At the virtual interim, there was interest in increasing the largest Object value as soon as the beginning of that Object arrives and not giving publishers the option of whether to deliver an in progress Object. Also, there was interest in making sure all the cases largest Object is used in the draft are clear and more of them may need updating. |
