Decision: 2014-02-11 minutes: Applied

(PARTIAL: there is more feedback)

The lack of any kind of distinguishing emphasis used consistently with field names in this document makes it hard to read. For example, here, is it literally the next field or the field called "next"? Because there is a field called "next" defined by this spec. This made me scroll back to the used ring definition to refresh the meaning of field "next" in my head, only to realize there is no such field in that particular structure. You are not kind to the reader.

If you search for the field name "avail_event", you will see that sometimes it is emphasized with quotes and sometimes it isn't. Probably better to use a monospace font instead.

Proposal:

Use \field{} for all register and field names.

This currently just makes it italic.  Generally this means changing
phrases of form "the XXX field" to "\field{XXX}", but other minor
consistency and formatting changes were made along the way:

1) Device Status became "device status" to match other fields.

2) PCI: The legacy PCI fields now have the same name as modern ones (where
   appropriate) so the general text still stands.

3) PCI: the msix_config field is renamed config_msix_vector to match the
   queue equivalent.

4) MMIO: use italics for field names in table instead of bold (to match
   the rest of the document)

5) MMIO: extra spacing in "QueueDescLow/ QueueDescHigh" and "QueueUsedLow/
   QueueUsedHigh" removed.

6) NET: CAN changed to MAY (was: 'a transitional device CAN defer MAC
   update, or CAN defer')

7) SCSI: control commands are now an item list, for better formatting.

8) SCSI: events now an item list.  reason fields now a description list.

9) VIRTIO_F_RING_EVENT_IDX is now a coherent sentence instead of just
   ending "; the flags field is used".
