Going into ANC, we usually get a "Descend via the SID". BUT...there are NO ALTITUDES on the SID. This clearance is wrong. Every altitude on the SID is at or above.
They should tell us "Descend via the SID to 4000 feet", or whatever. As described above, there is no bottom altitude.

Interestingly enough, the Honeywell box and the ATC agree with each other, and the box flies the descent the way ATC is expecting...
