[Mpi3-rma] RMA proposal 2 initial text

[Jeff Hammond]

This sentence is missing a word:

"MPI_WIN_CREATE_DYNAMIC creates a window that allows ________ to
attach (register) and detach (deregister) process memory locally."

It doesn't sound like MPI, but I would use the word "one" there.
Perhaps the MPI way is "the programmer" or "the user".

Best,

Jeff
