Eddy - the text says already  "... the input PDU number" it repeats the sharing statement - I think it has enough to get things clear.
I have changed bi-directional to bidirectional.

The 1st paragraph needs a little change too. It implies that a
bi-directional command must have data-in before data-out. If you had
data-out first and R2Ts were being used, the DataSN would start with the
last R2TSN + 1.

And the 1st paragraph of 9.8.1 should probably say "starting with 0 for
unidirectional commands" instead of "starting with 0".

Also, SAM-2 uses the term "bidirectional" not "bi-directional". Can you
change that too?

Julian,
I think we need to add a clause that denotes that a bi-directional command
is being addressed in the second paragraph under 9.7.5 in your working
draft 14.  We should add the expression ", in the context of bidirectional
commands, ".  The following would be the revised paragraph.

"R2T and Data-In PDUs, in the context of bi-directional commands, share the
numbering sequence (see Section 2.2.2.3 Data Sequencing)."

I know it should be obvious when one really thinks about it, however,  it
make the intent easier to understand.
