Subject: Property types and parameter types

In the work with packages, I have hit a little inconsistency that I would
like to have clarified:

There is a difference in H.248 version 12 between the types valid for
properties and the types valid for parameters.
Among property types, "Lists or sub-list" and "Boolean" are missing. The
definition of Enumeration is also different: 12.1.2 Indicates "List of
possible values" while 12.2 indicates "One of a list of possible unique
values".

I suggest that the types defined for parameters in 12.2 is copied also to
12.1.2.

Specifically I have a need to distinguish between

1) One value from an Enumeration. I intend to call that type "Enumeration".

2) A selection of one or more values from an Enumeration. I intend to call
that type "sub-list"

Is this according to general understanding?

Examples:

Property Call types
Type:   Sub-list
Possible Values:
        fax
        text
        data
Description:
A set of enabled call types monitored for in the call type discrimination
package.
(may be set to "fax, text" if we are only interested in supporting these
types)

Property Call type
Type: Enumeration
Possible values:
        fax
        text
        data
Description:
One specific call type that is selected or detected.
( may be set to "text" during a text conversation call )

Is it allowed to do as in the example, to enumerate the possible values for
the members in the sub-list under "Possible values" ?

Regards
Gunnar
