OK, I see.  And as that comment, plus comments on p. 134, as well as the
description of TDS_PARAMFMT on pp. 212-214 all say, TDS_RETURNVALUE is an
obsolete token superseded by TDS_PARAMFMT.  Microsoft may well have a
different take.  

That's very different from considering the functionality of output
parameters to be obsolete.
