It is something like "a place allotted by a protocol specification for communication or exchange of addresses, identifiers, and other constructs critical to interoperation between entities in a protocol."Makes sense. But that implies a container format that PRECIS did not mention either.
How so? Perhaps you could provide a definition of container format, beacuse it's not clear to me why the PRECIS specs would have needed to specify container formats.
Giving the unichars draft a hard time on this point seems a bit harsh.
Traditionally in standards development, trying to clarify requirements is not seen as "harsh" but as part of our job. I offered my previous message in the spirit of collaboratively getting clear on things.
