Comment :  Comment:
The draft standard requires
that "Setup validation methods
shall verify that registers and
variables of the voting system
equipment contain the proper
static and initial values".

Recommended change:
This requirement, and its subrequirements, should be struck
from the standard

Rationale:
it is unworkable in practice and
is effectively accomplished by the LAT procedures currently in place.
