I tend to be a bit picky about definitions being formal and requirements
being spelled out in black & white. It makes for easy interpretation and a
high probability that various professionals will reach the same

pump discharge flange and the shutoff valve. I'm going to submit a
proposal for the next revision. Then it'll be even more black & white.
