Instead of all input arguments, I would just say input buffers since there are no other array arguments and datatypes are refcounted. So the sentence could say

"Input buffers should not be modified and output buffers should not be accessed before the completion call."

fixed.

I was wondering if there is a way to forward reference this section somewhere earlier since it appears so late in the chapter.

I was debating where should I have it. The other place was earlier on page 447 line 12 (After Data Access Conventions). But then I saw a section for collective I/O operation in the consistency semantics Section, I put there. Do you think it would be better if we move it up to the Data Access Routines subsection? Do you have another suggestion?

I also noticed that ln 2-3 on pg 446 needs to be marked as a change in MPI-3 (color).

fixed. Thanks, Mohamad
