Alireza - looking at this editorially, it might be better to list where things are specified in a table. In many other 802.3 clauses we've been fighting this issue of long sentences with lists of references and generally find that they are much more readable
and useful in a table format. I suggest the below, as a modification to what you have provided.

In your below, replace: PCS high-speed transmit function is specified in 201.3, PCS low-speed receive function in 201.4, and OAM behavior in 201.3.8. PMA high-speed transmit function is specified in 201.5, and PMA low-speed receive function in 201.6. PHY control
is specified in 201.6.2, link monitor in 201.7.2, link synchronization in 201.7.3, and clock recovery in 201.7.4
with:
For the PHY_S, the functions are specified in the sections indicated in Table 201-xxx.
Table 201-xxx PHY_S functional specification references
Sublayer Function Section
PCS high-speed transmit 201.3
PCS low-speed receive 201.4
PCS OAM behavior 201.3.8

Similarly for PHY_D:
In your below, replace: PCS low-speed transmit function is specified in 201.4, PCS high-speed receive function in 201.3, and OAM behavior in 201.3.8. PMA low-speed transmit function is specified in 201.6, and PMA high-speed receive function in 201.5. PHY control
is specified in 201.6.2, link monitor in 201.7.2, link synchronization in 201.7.3, and clock recovery in 201.7.4.
With: For the PHY_D, the functions are specified in the sections indicated in Table 201-yyy.

Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2026 11:08 AM To: STDS-802-3-ISAAC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <STDS-802-3-ISAAC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [802.3_ISAAC] comment 401 and 402 I am following up on the discussion in today’s meeting regarding comments 401 and 402. I volunteered to rewrite the text related to these two comments.
For comment #401, we can use the following text:
The PHY_S device includes the high-speed transmit function and low-speed receive function required for asymmetric operation over the link segment. The top-level arrangement of the high-speed PMA and PCS transmit blocks, low-speed PMA and PCS receive blocks, PHY control, link monitor, link synchronization, clock recovery, and OAM functions is shown in Figure 201-1. While the block diagram illustrates data, status, and control flow among these elements, detailed functional descriptions are provided in the remainder of Clause 201. PCS high-speed transmit function is specified in 201.3, PCS low-speed receive function in 201.4, and OAM behavior in 201.3.8. PMA high-speed transmit function is specified in 201.5, and PMA low-speed receive function in 201.6. PHY control is specified in 201.6.2, link monitor in 201.7.2, link synchronization in 201.7.3, and clock recovery in 201.7.4
