Comment :  In this section, there is no adequate definition of a software module.  In its current state, the definition is left to the subjective opinion of the test lab.  The standard should explicitly and simply state that a module is a function (in C, C++, Java, etc.) and only a function.

Proposed change:  Add the following definition "A software module is a function (in C, C++, Java, etc.) and only a function."
