I'd like to propose a minor change to the spec to make clear how to specify point neuron models for simulators other than NEURON (for which NMODL artificial cells are not usable).

@@ -557,6 +568,8 @@ The namespace of parameters depends on model_type, and are defined as follows.

**For point_process models**, it is the namespace of the point_process/artificial cell mechanism.

**For point_neuron models**, it is the namespace of the neuron parameter dictionary.

I was doing some editing and I thought that keeping this new entry and removing "For point_process models" would be enough, but one line up (which doesn't appear in the diff) there's text for point_soma models. Where does this point_soma model type come form @markovg? It hasn't been listed before.

I'd like to unblock and merge this review, @markovg, is there anybody that I can ask for clarifications about where does point_soma come from and whether we can remove it.

I'm not going to merge this yet. There's still an inconsistency in the text that I'd like to be addressed before doing so.

This table has becomes confusing if we add non NEURON specific information
for point_neuron models. It also doesn't add anything that is not already said
above.

…omas.

It could be confusing and it doesn't add information as the area of a sphere
and the revolution surface of a cylinder inscribing the sphere are equal.
