-        With the 1.0 Specification, the goal of the OASIS Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) Technical Committee was to keep the good, discard the bad, and make the ugly optional. In particular, the Committee tried not to break too much, and (with the exception of the mmio transport) the specification is designed to make it possible for devices to support both 1.0 compliant and legacy guest drivers.
+        With the 1.0 Specification, the goal of the OASIS Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) Technical Committee was to keep the good, discard the bad, and make the ugly optional.  The "Virtio PCI Card Specification" 0.9.5, was used as a starting point (referred to as "legacy").  In particular, the Committee tried not to break too much, and (with the exception of the mmio transport) the specification is designed to make it possible for devices to support both 1.0 compliant and legacy guest drivers.
