I agree that is misleading.  Although we want to have identical semantics
there are places where it is just not possible and mixins were added as a
kind of best-can-do for AspectJ intertype declarations.  There may still be
places where mixins can be tweaked to bring them more inline with what is
possible for ITDs (they haven't had a lot of work done on them) but at the
very least the doc needs updating to detail the difference in semantics in
this area, I just haven't had the time.

cheers,
Andy.
