Makes sense, but the description says

        "Note that the value of this object will
        be the same as that of the corresponding instance of
        mteTriggerValueIDWildcard when the corresponding
        mteTriggerSampleType is 'deltaValue'."

My understanding is that mteTriggerDeltaDiscontinuityIDWildcard MUST be
false when mteTriggerValueIDWildcard is false, but can take ANY value when
mteTriggerValueIDWildcard is true. This is IMHO in contradiction with the
use of the word "same" in the description.
