Specification Change Summary
2007 Edition
May 2007
The 2007
edition of the standard City specification has been created to update earlier
versions of the standard specification.
Certain sections have remained the same as earlier versions, some have
changed in a minor way, and some have undergone major changes.
In order to
assist the user, the following listing is a summary of the subjective extent of
change in the various sections from the 2004 version of the specification. If change has occurred in a section, the user
is strongly advised to study the section to become familiar with the extent of
the change. Although the summary
attempts to categorize the change as none, minor or major, the user must
determine whether even a minor change affects their work. Not all changes are
identified in the Remarks column of this summary.
