I guess there should be an 'at' here.

Are domain IDs zero-based and definitely non-sparse?

What exactly does this matter for? Just for validation at parsing time,
or is this strictly required for correctness?

If we send a command with an invalid domain ID, would the FW reliably
report an error that we can recover from?

Otherwise, this looks ok. I'd just like to make sure I've understood
correctly.

Thanks,
Mark.
