What I need is a specific replacement for that sentence to which the WG agrees.  Suggestions?

The main thrust of the TS, as far as MPI is concerned, is the capability to pass an argument by (pointer to a ) descriptor, rather than as a plain address.  This is only done for choice buffer arguments.

Only for the ones with choice buffer arguments is there a need for both the legacy version (with a (void *) format parameter) and the new one that handles pointer to a descriptor.
