Abstract
The standard -matrix kinematic analysis is applied to the decays to show that the form factors are free of kinematic singularities or constraints. The general form of the matrix elements of the vector current and its divergence in the Duffin-Kemmer formalism are determined and shown to be consistent with the general kinematic analysis, in contrast to a form proposed in some recent letters.
