Clarification of existing design guidelines. New design guidelines. Review Notes 1. Revisions are listed by Section and reflect the new organization of the Design Guidelines. Only the new; and existing design guidelines with changes, are included for review and comment. Existing guidelines with changes only have the effected portions of the design guideline shown. 2. Revisions are shown with redline and strikeout. i.e. new language is in red and underlined. Deleted language is in red with a line through it. 3. Numbering is based on the reorganized document and does not match the numbering from the previous Design Guidelines. THESE REVISIONS WILL ONLY APPLY TO FUTURE APPLICATIONS.
