Hi Jacques,

      I was spreading news and references around here for the standard, and one of our Java Specification experts noticed something:

It looks like we might have missed a reference in the glossary to 'Conformance Target' (which looks like it is defined in a different reference).  Probably the right thing to do is to add the definition to the glossary, and put the reference where it comes from on the glossary definition.

Thanks,
Kevin
