Rich -- Per Jeremiah Willcock's comments, we'd like to add one small clarifying paragraph to the Fortran section. I think it's totally safe, but it's somehow intangibly above the "chapter author can add it himself" threshold for me. Specifically: I think the current text is a little weak, but sufficient. I'm therefore on the fence as to whether the text is *needed* in MPI-3.0 or whether it could be pushed to MPI next. Can this be added to the agenda during the discussion of user comments for the MPI-3.0 draft 2? Here's the specific proposal:

I propose adding the following paragraph after the big paragraph in draft 2 p628:27-44:

Note that the above definition does not supercede restrictions about buffers used with non-blocking operations (e.g., those specified in Section~\ref{subsec:pt2pt-commstart}).
