It is open because the current edited draft has the 3 factor semantics 
description for input PARAMs. It as NO refs or whatever other  mechanism 
to ObsCore-like FIELDS or PARAMs and neither has the <MIN>/<MAX> for 
Parameter domain.
If after discussion and implementaion people want teh <MIN><MAX> (or the 
latrenative solution) it would be possible to add them without 
discarding old services which will only MISS something usefull (and the 
same for a solution based on relationship to OBSCORE attributes which I 
would prefer.
