I move that:

The TC accepts the following changes to the specification,

https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/VIRTIO-111



r412: https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/virtio/email/archives/201407/msg00017.html

Fix minor typos as reported in ARM's feedback.

r413: http://mid.gmane.org/1406721603-25600-1-git-send-email-mst@redhat.com



legacy: consistently use past tense

Paragraph with general description of feature negotiation

for legacy devices mixed present and past tense.

As rest of legacy sections all use past tense,

fix the only instance of the present tense:

s/do/did/ for consistency.



https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/VIRTIO-113



r414: http://mid.gmane.org/1406721584-25548-1-git-send-email-mst@redhat.com

Grammar fixup: Legacy devices are "they" not "it".

Make it clear that the legacy section is non-normative,

removing all MUSTs.
