I have a comment concerning flux calibration, page 13 paragraph in red!
For Flux.Calibration in addition to ABSOLUTE, RELATIVE and UNCALIBRATED
it would be usefull to have NORMALIZED. It can be used for (stellar!
perhaps not only?) spectra which have been normalized to continuum flux.
It is very common in stellar physics where these data can be used to
perform as advance analyses as abundances calculations, at least from
absorption lines.
