2. Problem of existing message tables
Current MAC message table in D7 is confusing
Ambiguity in array representation
Ambiguity in condition of each parameter
Not easy to reflect ASN.1 design philosophy using a table

3. Suggestion on the table format
A 16e-like table format
Use if/else statement in the table for conditions
Use for-loops for arrays
Separate ASN.1 design philosophy from the tables
Resolve technical issues using the tables
Easier for ASN.1 experts to understand the message design and ASN.1 translations
ASN.1 development goes parallel with message table cleanup
Interactively until two converge with each other

4. Suggestion on the next step
There are many MAC messages
Require cooperation among members for the table reformatting task
