Currently, when reporting what metric calculation algorithms are supported, the info model supports an enumeration of "k-out-of-j". I notice that the only "k out of j" algorithm that really seems to be used is "2 out of 3". Should we replace the generic "k-out-of-j" with the more specific "2-out-of-3"? And if other k out of j algorithms are supported, they can be specifically called out with whatever values of k and j they use? Or is it really the case that if any values of k and j are supported, then it would be easy to use whatever values of k and j make sense in some particular case? Note that the proposed link type properties definitions call out "2 out of 3" instead of the generic "k out of j". I think it would be good to be consistent in which one we use. Barbara
