[edit] Invention/creation

May I suggest that the infobox state dates created rather than invented?

Data connector buses are generally engineered, created, not invented. The underlying methods have generally been invented long before the individual standards are created. -FrostyBytes 21:53, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] optional parameters

imo optional parameters that default to a particular value rather than defauling to not including the field are a recipie for wrong info to get into articles. How do others feel? Plugwash 22:50, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Do you mean 'External' and 'Hotplugging'? Good point I spose, although it would be hard to get it wrong probably, with preview and all, and both of those params are only 'yes' or 'no' anyway. --TheJosh 12:15, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
