-        With the 1.1, 1.2 and future revisions of the Specification, we aim to evolve this standard further, while both continuing to honor the goals of the 1.0 Specification and to include new objectives.
+	Support for new technologies often calls for extensions to the standard. For example,
+	as technologies such as nested virtualization and hardware-based
+	implementations of VIRTIO devices became popular, these devices are no longer

+	driver and device compatibility, as well as to driver and device security.
