I can change the text to what Gedare Bloom suggested: "If we know the<br>
max count (N) ahead of time, ..."<br>
<br>
Just from my experience with the requirements for the basedefs, when I<br>
create the requirements for an operation, I know the number I end up<br>
with before checking them in. The issue we discuss would only cause<br>
trouble if later more requirements for the same operation must be added.<br>
This is not totally unlikely but it means that one actually has 9 and<br>
then need a 10th one.<br>

I think that 99 requirements for a single operation are really out of<br>
scope. That will hopefully never ever happen. Even 9 is already a lot.<br>
Also it is rather advisable to adapt the names of the requirements to<br>
indicate the purpose. The numbering is more for the case that there are<br>
two or more requirements on the same topic (like on handling the same<br>
bad input argument).<br>

My opinion is that defining whether we start counting with 0 or with 1<br>
makes sense. Everything else seems to me a bit like solving theoretical<br>
problems.<br>
