Hmm... interesting, that's probably something I have missed.
and they didn't document this statement in the spec :(

But I think this statement has a contradiction against the system with
multi-CLIC instances described in spec.
Does it imply that either:
  * I can only have one CLIC in the system, or
  * All CLIC instances must have the same configuration in the system.

Do you have the link to this statement? I would like to take a look.

Thanks,
Frank Chang
