Hi Witek, Thanks for the blueprint. We can review tomorrow if you would like. 
Personally, I like the term "locked". The alarm definition makes more sense 
(option 2). I don't think an operator will want to lock/latch an alarm 
sub-expression. The operator will want to lock/latch an entire alarm. 
Therefore, what seems to make sense is adding the new capability to the alarm 
definition as it applies to the entire alarm. We had a similar internal 
discussion a couple of months ago, and that is the same conclusion that we came 
too.

Regards --Roland
