[^only2]: reminder that this proposal only needs 75% of two POs for Scalar instructions. The rest of EXT200-263 is for general use.
[^ext001]: Recall that EXT100 to EXT163 is for Public v3.1 64-bit-augmented Operations prefixed by EXT001, for which, from Section 1.6.3, bit 6 is set to 1. This concept is where the above scheme originated. Section 1.6.3 uses the term "defined word" to refer to pre-existing EXT000-EXT063 32-bit instructions so prefixed to create the new numbering EXT100-EXT163, respectively
[^futurevsx]: A future version or other Stakeholder *may* wish to drop Simple-V onto VSX: this would be a separate RFC
-[^vsx256] imagine a future VSX-256 using the exact same instructions as VSX. it would catstrophically damage existing IBM POWER8,9,10 hardware's reputation and that of Power ISA overall.
+[^vsx256]: imagine a hypothetical future VSX-256 using the exact same instructions as VSX. it would catstrophically damage existing IBM POWER8,9,10 hardware's reputation and that of Power ISA overall.
