Hi Grant

Humm, do i have an old version of ePAPR?

All i see is that in Table 3-4 It says:

stdout-path O <string> A string that specifies the full path to the
	      	       node representing the device to be used for
	      	       boot console output. If the character ":" is
	      	       present in the value it terminates the
	      	       path. The value may be an alias.

		       If the stdin-path property is not specified,
		       stdout-path should be assumed to define the input device.

So what is before the : is defined. What comes afterwards,
baudrate/parity/bits/flow control does not appear to the defined in
ePAPR. Should we not document the extension being added here?
