II. Implementation Semantics

No changes. 

=======================================
III. Standardized Fields
=======================================

ZDoom implements the base specification as described with one important change:
To take advantage of named actor classes any field specifying an actor type
by a conversationID takes a class name instead.
This means that ZDoom dialogues are not forward-compatible with the 'Strife'
namespace. Other ports should be aware of this.
ZDoom-format dialogues need to start with the line:

namespace = "ZDoom";


---------------------
III.A : Conversations
---------------------

This block only lists the newly added fields. Currently ZDoom only adds one
field to the specification:

conversation // Starts a dialog.
{
    id = <int>;	// assigns an ID to a dialogue. IDs are used to dynamically assign
				// dialogues to actors. For 'Strife' namespace or binary dialogues
				// the standard conversation ID ('actor' property) is used instead
				// for this purpose but since 'ZDoom' namespace requires the actor
				// to be a class name it needs a separate field for this.
}
