disposition of comments on SpecGL Working Draft

Alex,

Again, thank you for the thorough review of the Draft SpecGL document (20 
Dec 2002).  Your comments and suggestions were very helpful in preparing 
the SpecGL for Last Call.  It enabled us to focus on problem areas and 
clarify/cleanup the specification.  Below is the disposition of your 
comments, which were formatted as [1] to facilitate discussion.
