I agree.

Huh? I said:
temp_max[1-3] Temperature max value. Fixed point value in form XXXXX and should be divided by 100 to get degrees Celsius. Read/Write value.
Where is the ability to use a different scale from different drivers in that?
Anyway, it sounds like we are agreeing here, so I guess I'll go and write up the whole document in the new style and post it for comments.
