DJ,
Very good question.
I'm using an Acrobat markup feature. When you put your mouse over the
strikeout, you should see the proposed replacement text:
"This project amends IEEE 802.1D in order to support bridging of the
IEEE 802.16 MAC. One subclause is added to Clause 6 to describe the
service interface mapping between the Internal Sublayer Service and
the 802.16 MAC service. Minor changes are made elsewhere in the
document, including priority mapping in Clause 7 and the PICS
Proforma in Annex A."
This may require Acrobat Reader 7.
