18. Condition (33) corresponds to equality in Eq. (29), and one might wonder if there can be a range of parameters in the case of strict inequality. It is readily shown, however, that there cannot.
19. Whether a measurement scheme possesses a genuine CV character is an important issue in some applications, e.g. the test for the CV nonlocality. See H. Nha and H. J. Carmichael, Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 020401 (2004).
