DDS11 — (T#6) Inconsistent name: StatusKindMask

In most cases in the specification, when constants of a type named like <something>Kind need to be combined together, a type <something>Mask is defined in the IDL PSM in addition to <something>Kind. The case of StatusKind is inconsistent, however: its mask type is called StatusKindMask, not StatusMask.

Proposed Resolution:

Replace StatusKindMask with StatusMask. Clarify the name mapping convention in section 2.2.2.

Proposed Revised Text:

Append the following sentence to the fourth paragraph of section 2.2.2: "The name of the mask type is formed by replacing the word 'Kind' with the word 'Mask'."

Replace "StatusKindMask" with "StatusMask" everywhere it appears in the IDL PSM in section 2.2.3.
