Re: No group write API: do not remove note

[gk4@us.ibm.com]

Johannes,

Yesterday I was attempting to cleanup all of the FIXMEs and NOTEs in
specification.   The excerpt below shows that I removed the
comment/observation that I had received from JFH.   I guess I could add
back the removed text less the "According to..." and the NOTE tags.   Would
this be acceptable?
