does not add Vector opcodes or regfiles**.
An ISA Concept similar to Simple-V was originally invented in 1994 by
Peter Hsu (Architect of the MIPS R8000) but was dropped as MIPS did not
-have an Out-of-Order Microarchitecture.
+have an Out-of-Order Microarchitecture at the time.
Simple-V is designed for Embedded Scenarios right the way through
Audio/Visual DSPs to 3D GPUs and Supercomputing. As it does **not**
It is also critical to note that Simple-V **does not modify the Scalar
Power ISA**, that **only** Scalar words may be
Vectorised, and that Vectorised instructions are **not** permitted to be
-different from their Scalar words.
-The sole exception to that is Vectorised
+different from their Scalar words (`addi` must use the same Word encoding
+as `sv.addi`, and any new Prefixed instruction added **must** also
+be added as Scalar).
+The sole semi-exception is Vectorised
Branch Conditional, in order to provide the usual Advanced Branching
capability present in every Commercial 3D GPU ISA, but it
is the *Vectorised* Branch-Conditional that is augmented, not Scalar
