That is the Bill / Rich / Torsten document.  I don't plan to update that chapter.  It was specific to MPI-3.

Ditto for all of the above -- I don't plan to change that part of the document.  

Someone else is free to do so, but it's in the past, so I'm not sure if it's a good use of time to do so.

To be clear: the Forum requested that Brian and I include that document in our proposal so that people could see/compare.  I do not consider that text to be part of our proposal.
