Notice that the annotations in the AARM have no official status
at all, they are not part of the standard, and do not affect
the interpretation of the standard in any way (they are just
the authors opinions, and observations). They are still often
useful, but it is important to bear this in mind. In particular
the annotations have not been subjected to any formal standards
type review.
