Revision 2 had not yet been posted, so changes suggested by the group were added to revision 2. A row was added to Table 11 defining what is done for a COR_DIS of 0, WR_UNCOR of 1, and PBLOCK of 0.
There was a straw poll on the issue of should READ CAPACITY(16) be supported when the underlying media contains multiple logical blocks per physical block. 5 people wanted READ CAPACITY(16) support to be required and 2 people did not want it to be required.
