      * I have revised the UCDs in Tables 1, 2 and 3. The revised tables can be found *[[%ATTACHURL%/DMspectrumUCD.doc][here]]*. Note that rows with changed UCDs are in bold+italic.
      * Pag.23: erase sentence "My solution for brightness... "
      * Pag.23 last line: change with "Note: we propose for the next version of the IVOA REC UCD-list to (a) change the flag of *pos.eq* from S to Q, (b) add two new words *em.start*, *em.end* to indicate the lower/start and upper/end boundaries of a spectral interval (as already done for the time axis)"

      * Does the model allow for double sideband spectra? That is spectra for which each pixel can correspond to two different frequencies or wavelengths? This is a fairly common situation in the mm and submm. 
      * More generally what about the issue of describing how to convert between two different spectral axes, for example in the dsb case the upper and lower sideband frequency?  
      * Is there support for non-uniform spectral (and temporal) axes? 
      * In derived data fields signal-to-noise ratio seems a poorly defined quantity as it depends on what signal, spectral feature,  is of interest to a particular user. A value for the rms noise level on the other hand would be very useful but doesn't seem to be in the model.
