Wow, great!

I reworked one paragraph for better grammar.  Mainly adding "the":

(pseudo-patch):
    Devices report such failures by returning +the+ NO_VECTOR value
    when the relevant Vector field is read. After mapping an event to vector,
    +the+ driver must verify success by reading the Vector field value: on
    success, +the+ previously written value is returned-;-+, and+ on failure,
    NO_VECTOR -value- is returned. If +a+ mapping failure is detected, +the+
    driver can retry mapping with +fewer+-less- vectors, or disable MSI-X.

I really liked the conversational style: standards can be intimidating and
unfriendly documents if they concentrate too much on partitioning all
information into precise sections.

That makes it 0.8.6.  I will re-read the entire document for consistency
before releasing 0.9.

Thanks!
Rusty.
