The CSR is quite lengthy and some wordings may be more suitable for another section, so I made some adjustments. In addition, I made some minor wording changes to the specification section to be more align with the existing guide. Could you please take a second look? I will add myself as the reviewer once we settle on the changes. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/18898#issuecomment-2151104880
