you thought about it but then made an arbitrary ad-hoc decision without
further consultation.

no: the way i would like it done is that the RFCs *include the entire
instruction* and if the RFC is different the *instruction* is modified
(and the parser to match) to cope.

in this way when it comes to dropping the instructions into "patches
to the v3.2 or whatever Power ISA is available at the time" it's a
no-brainer task because the instructions *are already in the format that
pandoc can directly convert to latex* for inclusion *directly* in the
spec.

ultimately i want the Libre-SOC openpower-isa repo to become a git submodule
of the Power ISA repository which you can't access because (sigh) they
haven't made it available. sigh.
