+This is a quick overview of the changes that we are proposing to the PowerPC  
+instruction set.

 ## Overview  
-      
+
 The PowerPC Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) is an abstract model of a 
 computer. This is what programmers use when they write programs for the machine,
 even if indirectly via a compiler for a high level language. We must be  
 conservative in how we add to the ISA to:  
-     
-* not break existing programs      	 
-     
-* be mindful as to how others may wish to add to the ISA in the future   
-     
-This document describes our strategy.

 ## ISA modes and escape sequences  
-     
+  
 New chips usually need to be able to run older (legacy) software that is  
 incompatible with the latest and greatest ISA. Eg: 64 bit chip must be able to  
-run older 16 bit and 32 bit software.      
-     
+run older 16 bit and 32 bit software.
+  
 To enable backwards compatability the CPU will be set into 'legacy' mode. This  
-is done with an ISA Mode switch, also known as ISA Muxing or ISA Namespaces.    
-      
-The operating system is able to quickly change between 'modern' ISA mode and    
-various legacy modes.       
-     
-Another technique is an ISA escape-sequence. This is a type of mode that is     
-only operational for a short time, unlike 32 or 64 bit which would be for the   
-entire run of a program.
